The course is primarily aimed at care workers who are taking on new roles, for example as assistant practitioners, associate practitioners or team leaders. It is also suitable for staff who have already achieved a level of responsibility but who want to consolidate that, with evidence of new knowledge and skills to enhance their practice. It is open to all who are interested in exploring new aspects of health and social care and who are in employment in a relevant place of work. You will put theory into practice by using your current role at work to reflect upon teaching and to fulfil some of the assessment criteria.

The course runs for two years full-time and combines classroom study with work-based learning. The course consists of units of study called modules. Taught sessions will contain core content and you will also have the opportunity to customise your 'pathway' during the course. With the support of your tutors, you will be able to identify work-based outcomes that reflect and respond to your individual role and employment needs. You will attend classes that include: study skills ; science for health and social care ; social and welfare systems ; legal and ethical aspects of care ; research and evidence.
