The Pearson BTEC National Certificate and Extended Certificate in Health and Social Care are for students who want to continue their education through applied learning. They provide progression to a range of higher education courses and job roles related to the health and social care sector.
The qualifications develop a deep common core of knowledge, understanding and skills in the care sector through mandatory content, and allow learners to focus on a particular aspect of the sector through a selection of optional units.
The qualifications carry UCAS points and are recognised by higher education providers as contributing to meeting admission requirements to many relevant courses, for example:
• BSc (Hons) in Nursing • BSc (Hons) in Health Sciences • BSc (Hons) in Psychology with Counselling • BSc (Hons) in Midwifery • BA (Hons) in Social Work
In year 1 (Certificate) you will do a January exam for Unit 1 - Human Lifespan Development and coursework for Unit 5 - Meeting Individual Care and Support Needs
