About this course

Free Level 2 Health and Social Care Course in Leamington Spa. Classes run at Campion School. This full-time daytime course covers the knowledge and skills needed to work in the care sector, including health and social care values, equality and diversity, individual rights, and healthy living. You'll also complete a research project as part of your studies. The course takes around 15 hours in total. It covers care for people of all ages and with a wide range of needs, making it a solid foundation for a health and social care qualification at this level.

Who this course is for

Health & Social Care provides a unique opportunity to study a vocational course at GCSE Standard. This challenging and interesting course will provide you with the skills and knowledge essential for a career working with people within the care sector. You will learn how to provide the best possible service to people of all ages and with widely differing needs.

What you will learn

  • You'll explore health and social care values and how they apply in practice.
  • You'll study equality, diversity, and individual rights in care settings.
  • You'll learn how to support the health and wellbeing of people with different needs.
  • You'll develop an understanding of healthy living and its role in care.
  • You'll carry out a research project relevant to the health and social care sector.

How you will learn

You'll learn through a combination of practical experience and written assignments. Teaching is classroom based, with daytime sessions at Campion School. Assessment is through coursework and assignments rather than formal exams, which means your work is assessed throughout the course rather than in a single sitting.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Campion School will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Care assistant: support people in their homes or residential settings.
  • Healthcare support worker: assist clinical staff in NHS or private settings.
  • Support worker: help adults or children with day-to-day living.
  • Domiciliary carer: provide personal care to people in their own homes.
  • Residential care worker: work in care homes supporting older or disabled residents.

What you could study next

A level 2 health and social care qualification is a starting point, not a ceiling. You could move on to a Level 3 BTEC National in Health and Social Care, which opens doors to university or higher-level roles. If you want to work directly in adult social care, a Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care is the qualification employers and regulators look for in senior and supervisory roles.
