The Level 1 Certificate in Vocational Studies (Health & Social Care and Childcare Pathway) offers learners a supportive and practical introduction to two closely linked sectors. Designed for those who are interested in working with people, the course develops essential skills such as organisation, communication and teamwork while allowing learners to explore either Health & Social Care or Childcare contexts through a dual-pathway approach.
Learners will study core units including Being Organised and Developing a Personal Progression Plan, alongside sector-focused units such as Healthy Lifestyles, Contributing to the Community, and Providing an Activity to Support Children’s Emotional and Social Needs.
Throughout the course, learners apply their skills to real-life scenarios, such as supporting wellbeing, working with communities and planning activities, helping them build confidence and prepare for progression to Level 2 courses, apprenticeships or further training in health, care or early years settings.
