This is a practical, work-related course. It introduces students to the employment area of health and social care and provides a good basis for them to go onto a more advanced work-related qualification. The course is equivalent to two GCSEs, grades A*-C and may be studied in conjunction with any of the other Level 2 BTEC Certificates, eg Children's Care, Learning and Development, and GCSEs. Specialist units enable them to study a particular area in depth. The units are Communication; Vocational Experience in a Health or Social Care Setting; Ensuring safe environments in Health and Social Care and The Impact of Diet on Health. Students are required to complete two periods of work experience in two different health and social care settings as part of this course. With further training or study, students go on to careers such as nursing, social work, teaching and residential care management. Students could get a job straight away in registered care homes, hospitals and primary care trusts, nursing homes and health centres. Level 3 Health and Care courses and the A level are available at the College for those wishing to gain further qualifications.
