The Level 3 BTEC courses provide a specialist work-related programme of study that covers the key knowledge and practical skills required in the Health Care Sector as well as offering a different emphasis through the choice of specialist units. It also provides opportunities for the learner to develop an understanding of spiritual, moral, ethical, social and cultural issues and an awareness of environmental issues, health and safety considerations and European developments.
The vocational nature of the course allows students to develop problem solving skills, emphasising the use of IT, numeracy and good communication skills in line with the government key skills requirement. It is an active course, supplemented by a period of work experience and vocational visits which assist in putting school based work in its appropriate context. It is ideal for students who prefer working on presentations and coursework, rather than taking formal exams.
Students who have not achieved a grade C or above in Maths will also be studying GCSE Maths.
