What you will learn

  • You'll explore how health, social care, and children's settings are organised and run.
  • You'll learn about the needs of children, young people, and adults who use care services.
  • You'll understand the values and principles that underpin care work, such as dignity and respect.
  • You'll develop awareness of safeguarding and why it matters in care settings.
  • You'll learn about communication skills used when working with people in care environments.
  • You'll understand basic health, safety, and wellbeing responsibilities in care workplaces.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom sessions at Flemingate Centre, with tutor-led teaching and group activities. Assessment is through assignments and written tasks completed during the course. There are no formal exams. Your work is assessed against the qualification standards set by NCFE.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Flemingate Centre will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Care assistant: support adults in residential or home care settings.
  • Nursery assistant: help with the daily care of young children.
  • Childcare worker: work in a nursery, playgroup, or after-school club.
  • Healthcare support worker: assist clinical staff in hospitals or GP practices.
  • School support assistant: support pupils and staff in a school environment.
  • Domiciliary care worker: provide care and support to people in their own homes.

What you could study next

This Level 1 Award is a stepping stone toward more substantial qualifications in the sector. A Level 2 Certificate or Diploma in Health and Social Care would be a natural next step, covering more in-depth care skills and opening up more job roles. If you're drawn to working with children, a Level 2 Award or Certificate in Childcare and Education builds directly on what you've started here. Both are available at many further education colleges.
