Course content

Course Duration

This Level 3 Health and Social Care course can be completed in just 6 – 9 months. Learners will, however, have a total of 12 months should they wish to pace themselves.

Mandatory & Optional units

Completing both mandatory and optional units is crucial for a well-rounded education and certification. Mandatory units ensure that all learners meet a standardised set of core competencies necessary for effective practice in adult care settings. Optional units allow individuals to tailor their learning to specific interests or career paths, enhancing their skills in specialized areas of care. This combination ensures both breadth and depth in professional training, preparing learners for diverse roles within the care sector.

How it works

Application Submission: Learners must apply for the course and provide their manager’s details for authorization, as workplace assessments are part of the evaluation process. Functional Skills Test: After application approval, candidates undergo a literacy and numeracy test to ensure they meet the basic requirements. Course Timetable: Successful candidates receive a timetable detailing lessons and key dates for mandatory unit completion. Ongoing Support: Throughout the course, learners attend scheduled lessons, complete assessments, and have direct access to their assessor for any queries or support needs.

How are you assessed?

Throughout the course, you will be assessed on both your competence and knowledge using various methods. These include completing written assignments and coursework, having a manager or colleague provide a witness testimony of your workplace tasks, direct observations of your work-related activities, engaging in professional discussions, and submitting work product evidence as part of your evaluation process.

Who is this course for?

Experienced care workers.
