The qualification provides a structured programme of learning and assessment to support learners to demonstrate competence in a senior healthcare support worker role.
Learners can progress to an apprenticeship at level 5, for example the Assistant Practitioner in Healthcare or the Nursing Associate provided they are in a suitable job role.
There may be opportunities to progress to Registered Nurse apprenticeship or a pre-registration degree programme providing the Higher Education Institution/University entry requirements are met.
