Introduction to the Health & Wellbeing Industry

Prepare for a career in the care & support industries and achieve NCEA Level 2.
If you are a 16-19 year old & feel that school isn’t right for you, then check out this option!

After completion of this programme you will be able to:

• Support a person’s wellbeing & quality of life in a health & wellbeing setting

• Recognise & report risks & changes for a person in a health or wellbeing setting

• Provide first aid

• Demonstrate health & safety practices in a work environment

• Identify support services & resources within the community

• Support a person to eat & drink in a health & wellbeing setting

• Use different techniques for moving people & equipment in a health & wellbeing setting

As well as completing the industry recognised pre-trades qualification you can expect to develop life and employability skills to make you more attractive to any potential employer. You will also have the opportunity to gain workplace experience from a work placement in the care and support industry. Plus, we like every student to leave with a driver’s license (which we pay for) to make you more employable once you have completed the course.

Literacy & numeracy can be a stumbling block for many learners and that’s why all of our courses include support & assistance in reading, writing & numbers - relevant to your training.
