The BTEC Tech Award in Health and Social Care aims to provide students with a robust understanding of the diverse and rewarding career pathways within the health and social care sector. This vocational qualification fosters an engaging and practical learning environment where students develop the knowledge and skills essential for future employment or further study. Our curriculum emphasizes real-world application, ensuring students gain a realistic understanding of individual needs and how to provide effective care. This includes the use of specialist techniques, while actively challenging stereotypes and discrimination to promote inclusive practice.
Care values are embedded within all units, with a focus on developing empathy, compassion, commitment, tolerance, and empowerment. This encourages students to become responsible and caring citizens who contribute positively to society. The curriculum is designed to be progressive, with units building upon one another to reinforce knowledge and allow for the gradual development of technical skills. Case studies provide opportunities to apply learning to real-life scenarios, enhancing understanding and engagement. Throughout the course, students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative skills through interactive activities and projects, fostering curiosity and a desire for lifelong learning.
