Overview

If you are already teaching Health and Social Care you can compare current and revised specifications on the What are the changes? page.

This practical and comprehensive qualification features a broad overall introduction to health, social care and early years, and also offers flexibility for candidates to specialise if they choose.

We've tried to retain the most interesting aspects of the current specification to ensure a smooth transition to the new version, but we have updated aspects of the content to reflect recent changes in health, social care and early years practices. We've also introduced a computer-based test which we aim to offer during a one-week window of opportunity for our new Unit A914 at double award status.

Benefits to you and your learners of teaching this qualification

• It provides a foundation for learning in health, social care and early years
• There is a single award option for candidates who do not wish to dedicate double award time
• It includes a new unit about protecting and safeguarding vulnerable people
• Computer-based testing is now available for Unit A914 with a one-week window of opportunity
• It is an interesting and varied specification that provides plenty of options for practical and hands-on learning.
