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 organizations 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 NVQs) and degrees in nursing and midwifery. The qualification is designed to provide a broad introduction to the vocational area of health and social care. It is offered at two options: The National Extended Certificate is taught as 4 units over two years. Two of the units are assessed externally by a written examination. This course can be studied alongside other Advanced GCEs. Skills: Successful students demonstrate an inquisitive mind, good analytical skills, and a strong work ethic.
Students wanting to pursue an 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.
If you are studying health and social care as one of your three subjects you will be following the “extended certificate” qualification. This is equivalent to 1 A level and has the same UCAS points. You will study FOUR modules, unit 1 and unit 2 which are assessed by external exams, and unit 5 and an optional unit which are assignment-based and are assessed by your teacher.
