Course summary

Level 3 Certificate in Applied Science - This qualification is aimed at 16 to 18 year old learners who are in full-time Level 3 education and who wish to progress to higher education and/or pursue a career in the applied science sector. There are no formal entry requirements for this qualification, but to optimise their chances of success, learners will typically have four GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including science, maths and English. This qualification will provide learners with a broad understanding of vocationally-related sciences to support progress to higher education. It is suitable for studying alongside substantial academic science qualifications, such as A-level sciences or other Level 3 vocational qualifications. This qualification can also prepare learners to take up employment in the applied science sector, either directly after achieving the qualification or via higher education. Studying this qualification will enable learners to develop their knowledge and understanding of scientific principles, as well as those scientific practical skills recognised by higher education institutions and employers to be most important. The qualification also offers learners an opportunity to develop transferable skills such as problem-solving, research and communication as part of their applied learning.
