**What will I study?**

The qualification covers:

Sector specific knowledge and skills in a practical learning environment.

Knowledge which underpins the effective use of skills, processes and attitudes, including human growth and development, health and social care service, and factors effecting people’s health and wellbeing

This qualification builds on and uses knowledge and skills you are learning in your GCSE’s, such as English. It will complement the more theoretical aspects covered by GCSE Biology or GCSE Psychology by allowing you to apply your knowledge and skills practically in a vocational context.
