 caring for PEOPLE WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES

Distance learning course of 6 lessons

On completion of this course you will receive two qualifications:

Qualification 1: Caring for People With Learning Disabilities Diploma issued by Stonebridge Associated Colleges, entitling you to use the letters SAC. Dip. (Caring for People With Learning Disabilities)

Qualification 2: ASET Level 4 Caring for People With Learning Disabilities Award

This Course leads to an ASET Level 4 Award certificate for successful learners. That means that it is independently accredited at a level of learning equivalent to level 4 on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) for England, Wales and Northern Ireland (in which GCSEs are at levels 1 and 2 and A levels are at level 3). For more information on this award, click here.

The Award has been designed by the learning provider to meet specific learners' or employers' requirements and as such is not listed as a qualification on NQF. While the duration, content or assessment may vary from similar national qualifications, in accrediting the programme at level 4, ASET attests that its learning outcomes are at an equivalent level to a level 4 national qualification.

ASET is a recognised National Awarding Body.

Thanks to advances in medical technology, we are living in an era when more people with learning disabilities can now live functional lives. As more of the learning disabled are at home rather than in hospital situations or institutions, it has become necessary for a wider base of the population to be educated in assisting to care for them. In this course our tutors will guide you through the social dimensions of learning disabilities, while examining methods of teaching, caring for and managing people with learning difficulties. The support needed to provide people with a better life from the first stage of disability until they gain some independence in daily activities, despite their disabled condition, can be expected to be in even greater demand in the future.
