Overview

The aim of the course is to provide a vocationally related qualification that draws on the main themes of work in the Health and Social Care sector. Learners on this programme have an opportunity to gain a broad understanding of the sector and a specialist understanding of specific aspects of the sector. The National Extended Diploma provides the opportunity to complete work placements which add to the vocational scope of the qualification. These placements can be undertaken locally, regionally or further afield. 100 hundred hours of placement must be completed in primarily in Health and Social Care settings with an opportunity of a maximum of 10 hours spent in a childcare setting. Learners are taught by staff who have vocationally relevant industrial experience and learners will also experience the expertise of guest lecturers or field visits. This qualification is equivalent in size to three A Levels.
