Level 7 Diploma in Health & Social Care

Overview

Our level 7 QCF Diploma in Management carries the same weight as a Master’s degree and is the highest programme we offer. This internationally recognised qualification is for all managers and leaders who are looking to develop a strategic insight into their chosen field of work.

The course is therefore applicable to several sectors, with the optional units allowing delegates to tailor the course to suit their sector-specific role. The QCF is accredited by FutureQuals and ensures compliance with legal requirements and, for care sector pathways, meets the guidelines underlined by the CQC.

Combining both mandatory and optional units, delegates must gain a minimum total of 45 credits in order to pass the course.

As well as the mandatory, delegates will also have to complete 18 credits worth of optional units. These optional units allow delegates to tailor the QCF to suit their specific requirements to suit their sector-specific role.

Assessment

Our QCFs are completed via e-portfolio, but all students will be assigned a dedicated assessor who will be on hand to provide support throughout the QCF via phone and email. The assessor team is there to help students work to the best of their ability and complete the QCF in good time.

The e-portfolio is a collection of evidence submitted via our online portal, that verifies students’ competence in their chosen units. This evidence comprises a range of documents, varying from peer statements, presentations of evidence, and a series of question and answer sessions.

This evidence is usually collected via experience gained in the delegate’s workplace whilst they perform their usual working role and will cover a series of both competence and knowledge-based units.

Delegates will be assigned a qualified assessor at the beginning of their course; the assessor will ensure that the delegate is working to their best ability and that they receive all of the support that they require by way of telephone and email support.

Requirements

As assessment takes place in the workplace, delegates must be employed in a relevant vocational setting in order to enrol on the course.

Duration

Delegates can complete their diploma in a time to suit them, and we do not have a set frame that students must adhere to. That being said, a good target time for completion time is around 9-12 months, although many of our students complete much sooner. If a student needs to put their diploma on hold, we do require a letter of commitment to the diploma so that they may return to the programme at a later date.
