What can I do afterwards?
The majority of students from Care courses go on to university courses. The two most popular destinations are nursing (either at diploma or degree Level 1) and Early Years Education (three to eight years). Other university courses students have progressed onto include social work, childhood studies, midwifery and occupational therapy. The most common destination for those seeking employment at 18 has been the care sector with NVQ training. Although the main focus of the course is employment in the care sector, other students have found work in more varied fields.
Are there any additional costs involved?
You will have a CRB check as part of the Diploma and a course text book which will cost £60 for both.
