Develop the specialist skills and essential knowledge needed to provide high-quality, empowering support to individuals with learning disabilities.
What does this qualification cover?
This official NCFE CACHE Level 3 qualification builds on the core principles of learning disability support. You will explore a range of key subject areas, including the nature and characteristics of learning disabilities, relevant legislation, and the importance of person-centred planning. The course also covers advanced communication techniques, promotion of active support, and how to champion inclusion and individual rights.
Study format: Online and self-paced, supported by a dedicated personal tutor and monthly check-ins to keep you on track.
Work placement: You must be working, volunteering, or on a practical placement in a relevant health, social care, or community setting. This is necessary because you will need to demonstrate practical competence and real-world skills to complete your portfolio assessments.
Duration: 4 months
Entry requirements: No formal qualifications or prior experience are required to enrol. You must be at least 16 years old and will need an appropriate level of written English to understand the course materials and complete the written assessments.
