Our Level 2 Health and Social Care course is the perfect introduction to the Health & Social Care sector. You'll cover a range of units that will enhance your knowledge in things such as health, growth and development, then build your confidence in carrying out health care practices.

Course Details

During this exciting course, you will study three mandatory units. You will learn more about safeguarding and protection in health and social care, gathering insight from real-life examples. You will learn more about equality, diversity and rights in health. You will also study human growth and development, and get to see how these theories play out during a 30-hour work placement during the year.
