Social Care Career – Social Care Degree

As part of your ICS Social Care degree you will study the Education and Everyday Life module, focusing on the links between learning and social needs. As a social care career can involve taking on the role of a mentor or educator, this may be an important part of your home study Social Care course.

If you choose a home study Social Care degree course with ICS, you can take the first steps to a social care career without disrupting current commitments. You will work in your own time and at your own pace. This does not mean you will be alone. As you work through your Social Care degree you will have the support of a dedicated ICS tutor. You can also discuss study tips with fellow students in the ICS Student Community.

Education and Everyday Life is one of 18 modules that are included in our Social Care degree. If you want to begin a social care career, this is a convenient and cost-effective way to earn the relevant qualifications.

While this module is part of our home study Social Care course, you can also study this unit on a standalone basis.

Those working in social care can play a major role as educators in everyday life – but this module also examines the limits, as well as the potential of this role. Beginning by considering education in its widest sense, you’ll consider a range of learning needs, including formal education, mentoring and basic skills. You’ll also be invited to explore learning needs in the context of how they’re connected to social needs.

Key Topics

>Limits and potentials of social care workers as educators in everyday life
