Supporting Individuals with Learning Disabilities
The NCFE CACHE Level 3 Award in Supporting Individuals with Learning Disabilities will provide you with the opportunity to develop your knowledge and skills in supporting individuals with learning disabilities. It is aimed at those who support individuals with learning disabilities as part of their job role.
The units offered within this qualification mirror those offered within the Learning Disabilities Pathway of the Health and Social Care Diplomas in England. All units are assessed in line with the Skills for Care and Development Assessment Strategy.
Work placement: It is recommended that learners are working, volunteering or on practical placement to be able to show competence in both knowledge and skills.
