Who is it for?

Health and Social Care Level 3 is a qualification intended for professionals who deliver physical, emotional or enabling care to clients who have a medium to high degree of dependency. The qualification is of value in health and social care environments, in public, private and voluntary sectors, wherever such specialist care is required. The NVQ Level 3 Health and Social Care qualification is linked to the level 2 award, but reflects a higher level of responsibility and specialisation. As such, it represents an obvious progression route from Level 2.
