Health and Social Care Courses

With the current ageing population of Great Britain, care is becoming one of the fastest-growing industries. Whether you are deliberating a change of career or unsure about what to do next, a course in Health & Social Care could be a great option. Perhaps you’ve been raising your children or caring for an elderly relative already – if so, you will already have a good background in this area and may wish to go for a formal qualification or even start a new career!

 

Our wide range of courses in Health & Social Care can help you achieve not only employment but progression to management positions too perhaps even the chance to start your own nursing or residential home!

 

  • You can undertake a range of QCF (NVQ) courses in health & social care from levels 2 to 5 which are vocational courses that can give you the knowledge and skills you need to begin your career in this industry and ensure you’re on the right path to progression (NVQ certificates are now the minimum legal requirement for staff working in the health and social care industry).
  • For those wanting to develop themselves academically, our BTEC HND/C courses in health & social care at level 4 and 5 can give you the knowledge to either progress to University or move into a management position.
  • Our postgraduate courses in health & social care can help those seeking higher level qualifications.

 

Carers can find employment in a huge variety of industries, such as day centres, nursing and residential homes, hospitals, nurseries, drug and alcohol abuse facilities, hostels, homeless persons units, family centres, as well as the private industry – live-in and domiciliary care.

 

Whatever your career aspirations, we have a course to suit you. Please contact us for advice, or see our current Health & Social Care courses here.

Student Testimonial

I joined career studies as I wanted to gain specialist knowledge in Health &Social Care. I began with an NVQ 3 and only planned to stay for this course but I was given so much support and felt so comfortable that I decided to complete my HND at Career studies as well. The lecturers are friendly and you never feel alone.
