MAPS Health & Social Care
Advanced Apprenticeship in Health and Social Care - Programme Overview
Why do I need an Apprenticeship?
Health and Social Care staff involved in the day to day operations of care settings should be professionally qualified. The Apprenticeship is an opportunity for staff to gain these qualifications and allow progress to level four and university entry.
What are the qualifications?
Successful achievement of the Advanced Apprenticeship consists of attaining the NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care, completion of ERR workbook and Key skills in Communication and Application of Number at Level 2 and City and Guilds Technical Certificate in Health and Social Care Level 3. These qualifications are together called a Framework and have been agreed by Skills for Health, the Sector Skills Council.
How much does it cost?
For learners aged 16-18 there is no charge to employer or learner, aged 19 and over there is an expectation that the employer will contribute to the costs. This will be by agreement between the employer and MAPS.
When can I start?
MAPS programmes can be started at any time throughout the year following eligibility checks for learner and employer. A CRB check will be required.
How long does it last?
MAPS expect completion in 18 to 24 months depending on the learner. All learners are treated individually with target completion dates set according to experience and time given to learning.
What will MAPS do for you?
MAPS will undertake a skills scan and create an individual learning plan to assist the learner in developing the required expertise for their job. We provide regular visits to the workplace for assessment and training by fully qualified health and social care assessors and certification of qualifications subject to successful completion for NVQ and Key Skills. Technical Certificate will be achieved by attending MAPS centre one day per week. Individual study will be required at home or at work for completion of assignments. MAPS will provide a Skills for Health Apprenticeship Completion Certificate. We will also provide support to the onsite Care setting staff in mentoring learners.
Entry Requirements
It is the norm that apprentices are employed in a care setting. There are no formal academic qualifications required but potential learners will be expected to have the ability to achieve NVQ 3, Technical Certificate and Key Skills.
