This is a one year course which is both exciting and challenging. The course combines a mixture of child development and health and social care, as well as units to help you develop essential employability and personal development skills which aim to prepare you to progress to a full Level 3 course. The course is suitable for students progressing from a Level 2 course who need a programme of study to prepare them for a Level 3 course. It is also suitable for school leavers, who have an interest in both child development and health and social care. The course enables you to develop knowledge and skills in three areas; child development, health and social care and employability and further learning.

These are a combination of Level 2 and Level 3 units. You will also undertake a work placement in a child care or health and social care setting to be able to apply what you have learnt to practical experiences.
