With the population living longer in the UK the health and social care sector is experiencing huge growth and is one of the biggest industries in East Anglia. Our courses cover a wide range of topics and skills and prepare our students for work, further study in the sector or university. These courses offer a wide variety of units to study and the qualification is 100% coursework assessment. If students are not in possession of English and Maths at GCSE grade C or above then they will be completing this alongside this qualification. The topics covered offer an insight into how knowledge and skills are applied to health and social care settings. Teaching methods are varied and include practical role plays, visiting speakers, case studies based on real people, independent study and use of professional resources designed to train care workers. Areas that we study include caring for people with additional needs, psychology, communication skills, health promotion, support work in social care and anatomy and physiology. During the first year of study the students will potentially complete 9 units, 6 of which will be submitted for the Introductory Diploma which is the first year target outcome and is an A level equivalent with UCAS points. Progression to year 2 is dependent upon achieving an overall Merit from the first year units and dependent on whether 6 or the full 9 in year 1 was completed the programme will be fixed at either the Diploma (12 unit/2 A levels) or the Extended Diploma (18 unit/3 A levels). All of these carry appropriate UCAS tariff points and individuals wishing to progress to University are encouraged to look in advance at the course entry requirements to ensure that they will meet these from both a GCSE and Tariff point perspective. More information on the specific unit content of the qualification is available on the OCR page in the weblinks below.
