This is an OCR Cambridge Technical qualification which means that it will give you UCAS points for university as well as skills for employment. You will study a total of six units over the two years, three of which are assessed through external examinations and three are through on-going assessment of your coursework. Examinations are available in both January and June of Years 12 and 13. This can really help to spread your workload and help you to achieve the best grades possible across all your courses. You can study either the AS or the A2 equivalent giving total flexibility. Students who have previously studied this course have gone on to university to study nursing, midwifery, social work, PE teaching, occupational therapy, public services as well as range of other non-health care related degrees. Students have also made the successful transition to college courses and of course employment. The course is a good preparation for university as students have to carry out independent research and use academic materials which they reference appropriately. As the course has a large coursework component you must develop independence to ensure that all deadlines are met. In Year 12 all students must complete a work placement in the care sector. This is fit in around your existing studies/timetable.
- It is important that students have four GCSE’s at grade 4 or above (including Maths and English) as well as being able to demonstrate that you are organised and committed. You should be able to demonstrate a good attendance record in key stage 4. - 5 GCSE's grades 4-9
