Certificate in Understanding Working in the Health Sector
This one-year Level 2 qualification is designed for adults considering a career in the health sector. It would also benefit those already working within the sector to support career progression. You will gain a comprehensive insight into the healthcare sector and its various roles. The course is delivered as a blended qualification which means it is a mixture of online learning and tutor supported workshops.
This qualification aims to give learners comprehensive insights into the healthcare sector and its various roles and provide the underpinning knowledge needed to work effectively. Topics covered include effective communication techniques, supporting health, safety, and security standards, understanding and upholding quality standards, fostering equality, diversity, and inclusion, as well as personal development within the health sector and the responsibilities of healthcare workers.
