Study Skills Workshop
Many of us may not have studied for a qualification for many years, and the thought of doing a qualification can, understandably, be daunting. Our FREE course demystifies academic language by explaining the meaning of different "command verbs", reassures about the wide variety of assessment methods we use, so writing reams is not required (unless you enjoy writing!) and describes what can be used as "prior learning", so you don't have to repeat recent work.
We discuss the use of AI in your qualification, and answer any concerns you may have - no matter how trivial they seem. This course is available as a video, to watch when it suits you, or as a workshop where you can engage with others and realise that you aren't alone!
Flexible Learning
The Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate is designed to take around 6-8 months to complete, however our flexible learning approach should help people to complete it much sooner.
We want you, our learner, to gain as much knowledge as possible from our course. In order to achieve this, we offer a variety of resources to help you - including a range of tutor-led videos that you can watch in your own time, plus FREE access to any of our Zoom mandatory training courses for six months. This time may be extended with permission from your assessor.
Flexible Assessment
Quality matters! We have a caring team of assessors who will mark your work within 24 hours and return it to you with supportive feedback and your next steps. You will have an initial observation near to the beginning of your course, and then a second observation towards the end of your qualification. These are also a great opportunity to chat to your assessor about any areas of your qualification that you require additional support with.
There are lots of ways that we can assess your work, including written evidence, recorded professional discussions, prior learning, in person observations, photographic evidence of documents you have produced etc.
