Level 2 (Pre Access) Certificate in Skills for Further Study in Health

The Level 2 Pre-Access Certificate is for students who wish to progress to further learning at Level 3 and then into higher education. It is aimed primarily at students who wish to pursue a career in one of the health science professions which require vocational study at university, but who are not yet ready to study at Level 3. This may be because of gaps in their skills or knowledge, perhaps because their schooling was interrupted or disrupted, or because they are returning to study after bringing up a family. Students who may be in this position include those who need to:

• Build a foundation of knowledge and understanding in an unfamiliar vocational area 
• Prepare for higher level study after some time away from formal education 
• Build the confidence, skills, knowledge and understanding required to progress on to Level 3 academic study 
• Achieve an appropriate formal qualification in order to progress to a Skills and Education Group Access to HE Diploma (Health Science Professions) 
• Gain a substantial full Level 2 qualification

Units cover:

• Barriers to Health
• Diet and Nutrition
• Human Health and Disease
• Human Physiology
• Skeleton and Muscle
• The Cardiovascular System
• Oral communication Skills
• Plagiarism
• Word Processing

The Level 2 Certificate is made up of 25 Credits so you will need to study for about 250 hours.

As part of your course, our lecturers will carry out observations and provide individual support.
