L1 Award In Preparing To Work In Adult Social Care

You need a good level of spoken and written English. You will be invited to attend an advice and guidance session before starting this course where you will be asked to do a written assessment. You need to have a minimum of Entry 3 level English and writing skills sufficient to enable you to undertake the level 1 course.

This qualification does not qualify you to work but does provide a starting point for deciding whether a career in the sector is right for you. You can progress to the Level 2 Certificate in Preparing to Work in Adult Social Care or the Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care. There are lots of opportunities available to you to progress across the South Thames Colleges Group and into the world beyond education.

This programme is a face-to-face course once a week for 3 hours. There is an option to progress to a level 2 course following an assessment and recommendation from the teacher.

Classroom assessment will take place throughout all sessions with tasks and activities and classwork to check your learning.

The summative assessment will be a completed portfolio of work which will be assessed by your teacher and verified by an external assessor.
