The Level 2 Diploma is suited to learners who are working in the care field and who do not have any qualifications in Health and Social Care. Learners must be aged 16+ and employed to avail of Apprenticeship training.

Central to any work as a carer, is that each person is approached in a person centred way and learners will gain the knowledge and skills to operate in this way. It is imperative that carers work in a professional manner at all times, hence the need for confidentiality and the adherence to the NISCC code of conduct.

Learners are required to have a minimum of 6 points on Entry to the programme and a true desire to care. For those in employment, an Access NI undertaken by their employer is satisfactory.

Assessment is a combination of written assignment work with observation in the workplace by a qualified assessor. An assessor will observe the learner carrying out real work activities in accordance with the plan agreed between the assessor and the learner. Learners use E-portfolio for the submission of work and to make contact with their assessor and Internal Verifier.

  • Healthcare assistants/support workers in community
  • Healthcare assistants/support workers in acute health environments
