The course gives students a sound understanding about the Health and Social Care sector, including Mental Health awareness, Behavioural Psychology and Care Quality practice. Students will gain understanding about current legislation and policy relating to the Health and Social Care sector as well as having a ‘hands on’ experience in both fields when completing the work experience programme. There are also opportunities to gain an additional qualification in First Aid awareness courses, trips out to linked H&SC placements and conferences. There are very strong links with volunteer groups within the care and education services—for example, Ageless Thanet and Macmillan Crossroads. The course will appeal to empathic students who are interested in working in the Health and Social Care sector, including education, social work and work within the NHS. Lessons will include class discussions relating to current legislation, policies and issues so students who enjoy current affairs will be most suitable. Students would be expected to manage their time effectively, have a good work ethic, good examination techniques combined with sound written skills and the ability to develop independent learning skills. For the single award (Extended Certificate—360 Guided Learning Hours) 6 units are taken, 4 of which are from the mandatory section. For the double award (Diploma—720 GLH) 12 units are taken, 7 of which are from the mandatory section.
