Amina_Hussain Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 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.

blondie Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 i dont think health and social care counts as a qualification - if you use the qualification checker that will give you the best answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 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.

Amina_Hussain Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimms o'clock? Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
