Rqf Qcf Diploma In Health And Social Care Level 2
Overview
Our Level 2 Diploma in Health and Social Care RQF (QCF) training course offers delegates the chance of earning a nationally recognised qualification approved by Skills for Care and Development and built around the Health and Social Care National Occupation Standards.
Certification at such a level indicates a higher standard of knowledge and competence for those working in social care environments. As such, the course is ideally suited to those working in supported living settings, domiciliary services, primary care environments or any similar residential settings.
In order to pass the course and obtain official certification, delegates must achieve at least 46 credits in total which can be earned by successfully completing nine optional knowledge and competence units and nine mandatory units.
Mandatory Units
- Unit 1: Introduction to Communication in Health & Social Care Settings
- Unit 2: Introduction to Personal Development in Health & Social Care Settings

Optional knowledge and competence units vary in accordance with the specific field/environment in which the individual is working or intending to work. Candidates will also have the option of focusing their course on a specific element of health and social care (learning disabilities, dementia etc.) or to instead study for more general Health and Social Care certification.
Assessment
Success is determined and measured in accordance with the delegate’s ability to present evidence of progress as their work-based performance is monitored and measured by course leaders.
