V Certs – Health and Social Care
Health and Social Care
Our Level 1/2 Technical Award in Health and Social Care offers pupils the chance to explore the job roles and career pathways of a health and social care practitioner, as well as building their understanding the fundamentals of human development – from conception to birth, and throughout the entire life span.
This qualification is approved for KS4 Performance Tables in 2024, 2025 and 2026.
V Cert Technical Awards are designed to be delivered over two years. The first year of delivery is entirely dedicated to teaching and learning, with all summative assessments taking place in the final year of study. The Health and Social Care V Cert Technical Award is assessed by Non-Exam Assessment (50%) and Examined Assessment (50%).
