Description

The Qualifications have been created to develop and reward the health and social care workers of today and the future, and to continue to bring recognition and professionalism to the management sectors.

We hope that learners take the opportunity to learn a great deal from these programmes that will provide relevant new skills and qualities.

It is envisaged that these programmes will encourage both academic and professional development so that learners move forward to realise not just their own potential but also that of organisations across a broad range of sectors.

All Diplomas are accredited at level 4 and level 5. Each qualification has a total of 120 credits.

Completing the Extended Diploma has a value of 240 credits. This is equivalent to a Foundation

Degree and as such allows access to the final year at one of our university partners for a related Honours Degree. Learners who do not complete Extended Diploma but achieve a minimum of 120 credits at Level 4 will be awarded the QUALIFI Level 4 Diploma in Health and Social Care (501/5058/0)

The course aims for the following five themes of an academic plan:

1: Pursuing Excellence – Apply self-reflective, analytical, evaluative, intellectual, and transferable skills in private and public sectors.

2: Practice-led, knowledge-applied – Enable learners to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills required of a flexible creative practitioner.

3: Interdisciplinary – Develop a learner who is responsive to the changing interdisciplinary landscape, able to adapt to changing needs, paraprofessional roles and inter-professional working.

4: Employability-driven – To provide individuals with the knowledges, skills and behaviours necessary to forge a career within the health and social care sector, through the acquisition of in depth knowledge and understanding.

5: Internationalisation – Develop an understanding of the impact of diverse and cultural issues within health and social care.

Structure

The qualification has been designed to be accessible without artificial barriers that restrict access, for this qualification applicants must be aged 18 or over. It is envisaged that learners entering the Level 4 Diploma will have a Level 3 qualification. Learners entering the Level 5 Diploma will have a Level 4 qualification.

In the case of applicants whose first language is not English, then IELTS 6 (or equivalent) is required. International qualifications will be checked for appropriate enrolment to UK higher education postgraduate programmes where applicable. The applicants are normally required to produce two supporting references, at least one of which should preferably be academic.

University exemptions

QUALIFI has exemptions for learners to progress to the final year of an Honours degree at a number of Universities.

The pathways are an indication of the learner’s progress towards a University degree and are based on the University’s review of QUALIFI’s learning programmes and outcomes.
