If you are interested in working in the Health sector but would prefer to take a more vocational course this might be the one for you. This course offers students the chance to further their studies of science which takes a different approach from the traditional A Level route. The BTEC Extended Certificate in Applied Human Biology uses a combination of assessment styles to give students confidence that they can apply their knowledge to succeed in the workplace and have the study skills to continue learning in higher education courses and throughout their careers. Successful students on this course; have a genuine interest in scientific ideas, are interested in the application of science enjoy a variety of different coursework/learning types, and are keen to participate in practical work and develop their practical skills. Students should enjoy practical work, be good at problem-solving, and enjoy working with numbers. As this qualification involves a significant amount of portfolio work, students will need to meet regular deadlines throughout the year. This BTEC Extended Certificate is equivalent to one A Level in any of the separate Science subjects and can therefore be used in the same way – to apply to University or further training and employment. The course specifically supports progression onto courses such as Paramedical Science, Physiotherapy, Sports Therapy, Nursing, Midwifery, Biomedical Science, and Social and Sports Science.
