About this course

Level 5 Leadership and Management for Adult Care Course. Work-based training at your workplace. You study while working in a managerial role in adult care, applying your learning directly to your day-to-day responsibilities. This level 5 leadership and management for adult care qualification is developed with Skills for Care and meets the requirements for the Leader in Adult Care Apprenticeship Standard. It can be funded through an Advanced Learner Loan. Fees may apply depending on your circumstances, though a loan means you only repay once your income passes a set threshold. The course typically takes 24 months to complete.

Who this course is for

This qualification provides learners with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively manage practice and lead others in adult care services.

Developed with and supported by Skills for Care, this qualification has been designed to meet the requirements for the new Apprenticeship Standard for Leader in Adult Care.

Entry requirements

This qualification is most suitable for those working in a managerial role in adult care settings who are looking to progress in their career. It is also appropriate for managers who have not yet achieved a vocational qualification at Level 5.

There are no formal entry requirements for this qualification but learners will need to be at least 19 years of age. It is also recommended that they hold a Level 3 qualification or above in a related area.

What you will learn

  • You'll develop the skills to lead and manage practice in adult care settings.
  • You'll learn how to support, supervise, and develop your team.
  • You'll understand how to drive quality and continuous improvement in care services.

How you will learn

This is a work-based qualification. You learn through your day-to-day role in an adult care setting, building a portfolio of evidence that demonstrates your competence. Assessment includes observations in the workplace, professional discussions, and written assignments. A trained assessor will visit you at work and review your evidence throughout the 24 months.
