Health & Social Care Level 3

[Amina_Hussain]

Hello all,

 

I just need a little advice:- would a Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care count towards a Level 3 practitioner?

I will be conducting interviews shortly and one applicant is due to complete their level 3 having already completed a level 2 in health and social care.

 

Would I regard her as qualified or unqualified and therefore will I need to make it clear I expect her to complete a Level 3 in childcare as part of her CPD?

 

Many thanks for any advice you have.

i dont think health and social care counts as a qualification - if you use the qualification checker that will give you the best answer.

No health and social care doesn't count as a relevant qualification for early years BUT if she is working towards a level 3 in the relevant subject I would count her as unqualified and working towards that.

Brilliant, thought so but needed to be sure.

 

I suppose by knowing she has completed a level 3 course shows she can work at that standard.

 

Many thanks

Just checked out the DfE qualification checker: really useful thank you.

 

Wish me luck I now need to start the interviewing process!!

Hi Silvermist

 

Just wanted to add that I employed a youngster about 8 years ago now that had this qualification, she had taken option units that related to early years and SEN. She turned out to be one of the best I have ever employed, her L3 was acceptable to embark on the foundation degree and she has gone of the achieve a full degree and EYPS.
