This is an academic work-related course that will introduce you to the Care sector and provide a good basis to move onto a more advanced work-related qualification. You will also be required to successfully complete work experience. This will be divided into three separate work placements throughout the course, each for one full week. The settings could include care homes, nurseries, pre-school settings or other suitable areas.

If you wanted to get a job following completion of your course, it is possible to work in: # Registered care homes # Housing # Community work and classroom support # The voluntary sector # Hospitals and the Primary Care Trusts.
