About this course
Free BTEC Entry Level 3 Personal Growth and Wellbeing Course in Birmingham. Classes run at Braidwood Trust School for the Deaf, full-time during the day. This entry level BTEC personal growth and wellbeing qualification runs over two years and sits alongside a broader study programme. It covers two units focused on developing skills, behaviours, and knowledge identified in your progression plan. The course supports employability skills and builds complementary knowledge across a wider curriculum. Entry depends on prior attainment, and places are subject to availability.
Who this course is for
The Award in Personal Growth and Wellbeing is intended for learners at Entry Level 3 and is a two unit qualification that complements a larger study programme. It is intended for learners who need to develop skills or knowledge in an area that has been identified within their progression plan. The two-unit approach allows for this to be targeted at developing skills and behaviours across a wider curriculum to enhance employability and develop complementary skills and knowledge components in a programme of study. This qualification would sit alongside other knowledge and skills qualifications to form a coherent programme of study or transition programme and is targeted at learners who will need additional skills and knowledge to enable them to reach their progression goals, which will not be included in the other components of their programme of study.
