Progress your career in Adult Social Care by obtaining a National Vocational Qualification Level 2 or 3 in H&SC

Skills for Care are piloting an e-Portfolio route to gaining a Level 2 or Level 3 NVQ qualification together with E-assessment-4u (Ea4u).

Ea4u is able to offer, via Government funding at no cost to the candidates or their employers (subject to approval of application), a programme that enables candidates to achieve the NVQ qualification using online access to course materials combined with an e-assessment portfolio. This means that you can work towards the qualification at a time that suits you, enabling you to finish the qualification more quickly, more flexibly and more efficiently without the need for regular attendance at classes. You will also have access to workbooks and online learning to build the knowledge & understanding included in the NVQ.

All candidates are assigned a dedicated Care Tutor and Assessor, who will make sure you have computer access to the e-Portfolio, ensure you have made the right choice of qualification, visit you in your workplace and also be in communication with you online and on the telephone. Full training ad support is provided on e-Portfolio and you have the chance to improve your IT skills as part of the programme.

Enrolments for candidates starting from February 2009 are now being taken. You can be assigned on the programme at any time and, within 2 weeks of the approval of your application, you will be assigned your Assessor/Tutor and receive an Induction covering the requirements of the NVQ and training on the e-Portfolio.

If you are ready to apply, please contact Chidi Uche (chidiebere.uche@skillsforcare.org.uk / 020 7471 6774) for a copy of the application forms.
