further education
This qualification is designed to provide learners with the knowledge, understanding and skills required to develop competence as a healthcare support worker in a range of healthcare support settings. The qualification is formed of mandatory and optional units. The mandatory units cover core competencies while the optional units allow learners to choose from a variety of specialist areas to tailor the qualification to their needs, and interests and to reflect the context of their work.
All units are internally assessed through a portfolio of evidence. A range of sample assessment materials (SAMs)
have been developed and will be used as examples to guide centres to:
directly target and assess all of the learning outcomes and assessment criteria within the mandatory units to demonstrate underpinning knowledge and skills
holistically assess the learning outcomes and assessment criteria attributed to the chosen optional pathway, where applicable
No formal entry requirements, however you will be interviewed and a decision made as to your suitability for the
programme.
