BTEC First Certificate Diploma in
Health and Social Care
This interesting modern qualification replaces the previous Child Development course, and goes further covering two options worth of teaching time. It is assessed continually in bite-size modules where keen students can go back and push their marks up by determination. It is the most normal 14-16 qualification leading to many careers in the whole health care, social work, environmental health fields etc.
The course is worth a minimum of two Cs at GCSE but keen students can gain much higher grades. We would expect everyone beginning to gain at least two Cs worth of “success” from it!
Progression can be made at 16 to 18 on to further study BTEC Nationals in Health and Social Care or the Level 3 NVQs in Health and Social Care, or ‘A’ Level Health and Social Care.
We will ensure a related work experience place during the course as this is a requirement.
