This is a work-related qualification designed to make you aware of employers' needs as well as allowing progression to university and employment. This qualification has been designed for learners who are intending to go onto further study in a related sector or plan to go in at entry level employment or Apprenticeship within health and social care. It supports access to a range of higher education courses if taken as part of a programme of study that includes another BTEC or A Level alongside it. It provides you with the opportunity to study Health and Social care at level 3, as a double A level equivalent allowing you to keep your options open and choose up to two other A level subjects. You can plan these additional subjects to meet the admissions criteria for certain professions.
You will need the general college requirements of 4 grade 4s or equivalent GCSE qualifications.
There are three main forms of assessment that you need to be aware of: external, internal and synoptic. Five Units are assessed through assignments - set and marked internally. One unit is assessed through a task - set and marked by the awarding body and two units are assessed through written exams - set and marked by the awarding body. These assessments enable you to attain a grade of either: • Pass • Merit • Distinction A final cumulative grade is awarded at the end of the course.
