The nationally-recognised BTEC Health and Social Care course
offers the ideal introduction to a whole range of health and social
care careers - or a formal recognition of your experience if you
are already working in the field. In either case, the in-depth
knowledge of health and social care problems and services on offer
will be invaluable if you are looking to improve your
prospects.
The Health and Social Care course will take you through the
legislative and regulatory responsibilities of the health and
social care professions and give you an understanding of the rights
of the individual and the needs of patients or care users.
You will gain a thorough insight into the challenges faced by
professionals working with vulnerable people in the community to
provide and improve care. And you'll see how the needs of
individuals change at different stages of their lives.
As you study health and social care you will also explore the
ways in which health and social care can work in tandem and with
other partners to provide a more comprehensive service.
You don't need any previous experience or qualifications to
enrol in our Health & Social Care course. That's because we
believe in making home study - and a rewarding future - as
accessible as possible.
This qualification is ideal if you are considering a career in
the area of Health & Social Services. Alternatively, you could
see it as a way to improve your promotion prospects if you are
currently working in the field and need a formal qualification to
be considered for advancement.
On completion of the Health & Social Care course, you'll
receive the BTEC Level 2 Intermediate Certificate in Theory of Care
Practices.
