About the course:

The Level 2 Award in Health and Care is a progression from Level 1. On this course you will developing the depth of your existing knowledge, preparing you for a career in a variety of health and care settings including the health service and adult social care. You will complete two units: ''Working in Social Care' and a unit decided in discussion with your tutor. Some possible topics include infection control and prevention; maintaining quality standards; duty of care, and activity provision. Assessment will be through a portfolio of evidence which demonstrates your knowledge and understanding as the course progresses.

How will the course be delivered?

The course will be delivered by an experienced tutor who has an extended experience of the sector and will be able to give you real life experiences of the care sector. Lessons will be taught either face to face in one of our learning centres or online via Zoom. Activities will often include discussions, group and pair work, written work, Q&A and worksheets. Your tutor will ensure that the lessons are engaging, interactive and supportive.

What do I need to bring?

You need to bring a pen, notebook and any other items guided by your tutor. If your course is in our online classroom (Zoom) you will need a computer, smart phone or tablet and a good internet connection.

What are the entry requirements?

As this is a level 2 course you should have an English qualification at entry level 3 or above. This could be a GCSE or an equivalent such as a functional skills qualification. Ideally you will have completed the L1 Award in Health and Care or you will have experience of working in the sector. You will need to undertake an initial assessment to determine if this is the right level for you.

What can I do next?

On completion of this course you can progress in employment or to many other Employability courses and workshops including courses on searching and applying for work and interview/presentation skills. You may also choose to progress to English, Maths or IT courses.

How well am I doing?

This is a portfolio qualification so you complete a range of assessment activities and your tutor will mark your work and feedback to you as the course progresses. Feedback will be both written and verbal and will always be supportive and constructive helping you to see what you have achieved and how to improve. You will also have a Individual Progress Record (IPR) to track your progress and enable you to set personal targets.
