Level 2 Diploma Health & Social Care Training Courses
The Level 2 Diploma in Health and Social Care replaces the NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care course. This level 2 diploma in health and social care is the equivalent of a GCSE qualification. The course is recommended for those who are looking to move into the care sector, or are working mainly under supervision.
Successful implementation of the training learnt on this diploma will help organisations meet the conditions and standards underlined by the Care Quality Commission. (CQC)
For this reason, a Level 2 Diploma is highly recommended for home care assistants, community carers, health care support workers and residential adult care home staff.
