About this course

Free BTEC Level 1 Personal Growth and Wellbeing Course in Birmingham. Classes run at Braidwood Trust School for the Deaf, full-time during the day. This is a four-unit course covering relationships and sex education alongside employability skills. You'll apply knowledge and skills across a range of relevant contexts. The course runs over two years. Entry depends on prior attainment, and the school will assess this before you start. This free BTEC personal growth and wellbeing qualification is offered to deaf learners and sits alongside other knowledge and skills qualifications.

Who this course is for

The Certificate in Personal Growth and Wellbeing is intended for learners at Level 1 and is a four-unit qualification that allows learners the opportunity to follow the RSE curriculum fully through the first four units. It also gives learners the flexibility to develop their employability skills across a variety of unit content knowledge and skills and apply these in a range of relevant contexts. 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 substantial 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.
