What will you study?
This course is for learners who are interested in learning about the health and social care sector as part of a balanced study programme. It is equivalent in size to one A Level.

Future Pathways
The qualification supports access to a range of higher education courses possibly, but not exclusively, in health and social care, if taken alongside further Level 3 qualifications. The qualification is intended to carry UCAS points and is recognised by higher education institutions as contributing to meeting admission requirements to many relevant courses. It can be taken alongside, for example:
• A Levels in Biology and Psychology, which could lead to a BSc (Hons) in Nursing
• A Levels in English and History, which could lead to a BA (Hons) in Primary Education
