This is the course for you if you have an interest in working in the social care, health care or education fields. The course will appeal to you if you enjoy studying a subject that is relevant to your own life and experience and are interested in developing an understanding of caring organisations and the clients they serve. The course is ideal if you want to move on to a related career or higher vocational courses (BTEC level 4, HND and NVQ’s) and degrees in nursing and midwifery. The qualification is designed to provide a broad introduction to the vocational area of health and social care. BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care that is a triple option and is equivalent to 3 A level subjects. The extended diploma is taught as a combination of 13 mandatory and optional modules over the two years. It includes 100 hours of work experience in a health and social care environment and 4 external examinations. Skills: Successful students demonstrate an inquisitive mind, good analytical skills and a strong work ethic.
Students wanting to pursue a L3 BTEC course of study need to have gained 4 GCSE grades at 4 or above. It is expected that all students will achieve a GCSE grade 4 or higher in English Language and Mathematics. Where this has not been secured, students will be required to retake these qualifications as part of their year 12 Sixth Form program of study.
The “extended diploma” is equivalent to 3 level subjects and again carries the same weighting for university applications. In this course you complete 13 modules, 3 externally assessed by examinations, unit 4 which is task-based and assessed externally and the remaining units are assignment based.
