Distance Learning isn’t for everyone. If at your enrolment we feel that this mode of study may not be quite right for you, we will help you to find the one that is.
No additional resources are required.
You could complete one of our other Health & Social Care programmes (e.g. Care Planning, Safe Handling of Medication, Prevention and Control of Infection).
If you are local to Swindon and working in a Health and Social Care setting for a minimum of 15 hours a week, you could progress to a Level 2 or 3 NVQ in Health & Social Care depending on your job role.
Free, however, if you do not complete your course, you will be charged £135 to cover administration and learning material costs.
