Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare

Overview

The Level 3 Diploma for Residential Childcare (England) is specifically designed for learners wanting to work in residential care with children in a care role and has not previously achieved an existing relevant qualification.

Requirements

As assessment takes place in the workplace, delegates must be employed in a relevant vocational setting in order to enrol on the course.

Duration

Learners are encouraged to learn at their own pace over the 24 months they have to complete this course. Because this course is self-paced, many learners will finish their diploma sooner.

If a student needs to put their diploma on hold, we do require a letter of commitment so that they may return to the programme at a later date.

Assessment

Diplomas are completed via e-portfolio. All students will be assigned a dedicated assessor who will be on hand to provide virtual support. The assessor team is there to help students work to the best of their ability and complete their diploma in good time.

The e-portfolio is a collection of evidence submitted via an online portal. This evidence comprises of a range of documents, from peer statements, presentations of evidence and a series of Q&A sessions.

Evidence is collected via experience gained in the delegate’s workplace whilst they perform their usual working role and will cover a series of competence and knowledge based units.
