Many of our level 1 students progress onto a level 2 programme with us in the following academic year. A previous Ofsted inspection found that "learners like coming to college and value their learning and development, with many already considering themselves as part of the sector workforce."
This qualification is designed to introduce learners to the care needs of children and adults and is a good stepping stone qualification enabling you to decide if Early Years or Health and Social Care is your next step. You will be assessed through your coursework.
