You can complete this course if they are between the ages of 16-18 and have a Level 4-9/A-C or above in both English and maths. This qualification will provide you with a range of technical knowledge and practical skills which will enable you to gain employment or complete further training in the industry.

When you complete your qualification you will be graded a pass, merit or distinction and will be able to progress onto Level 3.

The knowledge and skills gained will ensure that you are able to operate in a Healthcare, Care or Childcare setting. You will cover communication skills, safe working and safeguarding skills as well as working skills specific to each sector.

You will also have to complete 120-150 hours’ work experience. LCBT will support in finding an employer who will provide this work experience. The work experience really gives you the opportunity to put the skills you would have gained into practice and handle real workplace situations.

You will get practice and support to enable you to develop the required skills and knowledge to prepare you for the learning and end assessment. LCBT will work with local Healthcare, Care and Childcare employers who will contribute to the knowledge and delivery of training.

The different ways in which centres could support your learning, by working with structured work-experience or work-placements within their business, include:

• your attendance at classes or lectures given by industry experts.

• employers input into projects and exercises, or being involved with setting assessments and examinations.

• employers who act as ‘expert witnesses’ to contribute to the assessment of your work.

You will be provided with a uniform to wear whilst you are at college and learning materials that you will own to support you on your course.
