Health and Social Care QualificationsNational Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) are designed to be evidence of a person’s knowledge and ability. They are linked to the national occupational standards for each industry, with different levels identifying the needs of individual roles and responsibilities, i.e. Health and Social Care are the identified qualifications for domiciliary care, with Level 2 designated as the correct level for home care workers and Level 3 for supervisory or more senior workers. Obtaining an vocational qualificationIn order to gain a vocational qualification learners have to register with an NVQ Assessment Centre. This could either be a local college or an independent Centre, such as the UKHCA Assessment Centre. Learners have to demonstrate their ability in providing care to the identified standard as well as their knowledge and understanding of why tasks are performed in a specific way. Why choose UKHCA Assessment Centre?The Centre has developed a range of delivery methods to meet the specific learning needs of domiciliary care workers, as an alternative to the traditional college based learning route. This has led to an impressive completion rate where the majority of qualifications are gained within 6 months.
Local coverageOur team of Assessors and Verifiers live and work throughout England. Each organisation that uses our services has a designated assessor who works with the learners in their own locality and arranges visits at times and places to suit individual work and family commitments. Funding availabilityThe Centre works with many local Learning and Skills Councils (LSC) to provide fully funded Level 2 qualifications to employees who do not already have a Level 2 equivalent qualification. To see if fully funded qualifications are available in your area contact The UKHCA Training and Assessment Centre Telephone: 01202 683222 Alternatively, organisations can purchase qualifications at the full cost and then apply for funding through either UKHCA funding streams or other local initiatives.
