Course overview
This RQF course is the most up-to-date version of the popular Health and Social Care Level 3 qualification, and replaces all previous NVQ and QCF versions.
Our level 3 Adult Care qualification provides learners with a sound understanding of the subject area. The programme provides a framework to assess the learner’s competency relating to the health and social care sector.
The care diploma aims to develop the knowledge and skills of learners working in a wide range of roles within health and social care. The qualification supports the carer’s role in the workplace and provides a pathway to higher-level qualifications.
The course is particularly popular for learners currently working as senior care assistants and support workers in residential settings as well as domiciliary/day services.
