BTEC Health and Social Care
Curriculum Overview
Health and Social Care provides students with the opportunity to acquire key knowledge whilst applying their learning to work related contexts, and to gain the skills they need for further study and employment.
This is achieved through a course structure that allows students to build on and embed their knowledge and to grow in confidence when putting their learning into practice.
How will I be assessed?
Services and Values (Component 2) is delivered second and links closely to Component 1 by building upon the key knowledge and skills previously explored. Component 2 is internally assessed through the completion of the Pearson Set Assignment (PSAs) and represents 30% of the total course.
Health and Wellbeing (Component 3) is studied after the other components. Component 3 is externally assessed and synoptic, so builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills acquired and developed in Components 1 and 2. It represents 40% of the total course.
