Course summary

The Cambridge Technical in Health and Social Care has been developed to meet the changing needs of the sector, and prepare students for the challenges they’ll face in higher education or employment. Designed in collaboration with experts spanning the breadth of the sector, this course focuses on the skills, knowledge and understanding that today’s universities and employers demand. Students will practically apply their skills and knowledge in preparation for further study or the workplace. Students will develop professional and personal skills through interaction with people who either work in the sector or require care or support, as well as theoretical knowledge and understanding to underpin their skills. This will allow them to offer specific, person-centred care and support and build positive relationships with the people they are working with, so that their needs and requirements are met whilst they maintain control of their own care and support.
