PREPARING TO WORK IN ADULT SOCIAL CARE NCFE LEVEL 2 CERTIFICATE
Level 2 Entitlement may apply to you
COURSE: SUPPORTING INDIVIDUALS ON THE AUTISTIC
SPECTRUM LEVEL 3 CERTIFICATE (AIM)
NAME: SALLY I AGE: 51
Sally, enrolled on to the Supporting Individuals on the Autistic Spectrum
Level 3 after it was offered to her by her employer. She works with
individuals on the Autism Spectrum on a daily basis but has no formal
qualifications in this area yet.
She says, ‘My knowledge of the Autistic Spectrum condition has grown
and I have learnt more about the condition and how it affects individuals.
The course has challenged my knowledge and creativity and I have
enjoyed the format of the course, producing booklets and leaflets for new
staff in my service, rather than just producing essays. I have also had the
chance to work alongside staff from other organisations within the Adult
Autism Services. I have found qualities within myself that I didn’t realise
I had and my confidence has grown as a result. After, I will continue to
work with adults on the Autism Spectrum, but with a better understanding
of their needs.’
This qualification is aimed at people interested in working in adult social care. You will develop the professional
knowledge, skills and confidence necessary to work in this sector. Topics include: communication, the role of the social
care worker, handling information, health and safety, person centred care, safeguarding and duty of care. As this is
an intensive course which requires a good level of English, you will undertake an assessment during the first class to
confirm your place. You will need to attend College three days per week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
After successfully completing this course, you could progress into paid or voluntary work in adult social care. If you
wish to progress on to the Health & Social Care Level 2 Diploma, you will need to have recently completed a minimum
of 140 hours of work experience and then maintain a minimum of 14 hours a week during the course. Admission is by
short, informal discussion - please phone 01274 327327.
