Care Level 1

As a professional working with students, you know the value of practical, confidence-building qualifications. Nacro Education is launching a new Care qualification designed to equip learners who are exploring health and social care, including settings for children, young people, and adults with diverse needs.

What students will gain:

• Broad industry overview with optional specialisations: Caring for children or the elderly, people with disabilities, or people with learning disabilities.

• Practical learning paired with core knowledge: A strong foundation blending hands-on activities with essential concepts to boost day-to-day confidence.

• Transferable skills for success: Preparation for further education, entry into the workforce, or greater independence in daily life.

Why this course matters:

• Hands-on, real-world relevance: Students learn by doing, not just theory.

• Tailored support: Personalised guidance helps each student progress at their own pace.

• Clear pathways forward: Skills that translate to work experience, internships, or further study.

Assessment and progress

You will be required to complete a range of written assignments including booklets and posters. You will also be required to demonstrate some skills whilst being observed by your tutor. You’ll be supported with all your work and your teacher will go through all this when you sign up for the course.

Entry requirements

There are no entry requirements for this course. It’s ideal for learners seeking an introduction to health and social care and to explore whether a career in this sector is right for them.

Career and progression

After successfully completing this course, you will have the core knowledge and skills to take your next step whether that’s progressing to a higher-level qualification, exploring employment opportunities, or developing greater independence.

Throughout the course, you will also have access to career advice and guidance, helping you explore your options and prepare for the next stage of your journey.
