Entry Requirements
Our SVQs meet the necessary SSSC registration requirements. We have a highly experienced and qualified team of Trainers, Assessors, Internal Verifiers and Consultants who aim to make a difference to candidates and ultimately their workplace performance. With the emphasis on quality rather than quantity.
The Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs) in Social Services and Healthcare allows candidates to demonstrate competence in job related skills in their particular area of work. These qualifications have been designed in partnership with the sector Skills Council, Skills for Care and Development to ensure relevance to the sector.
Upon successful completion, learners will gain an international recognised qualification which guarantees that they have the skills, knowledge and abilities required to carry out their role successfully.
Practical assessments are carried out in the workplace which minimises any time learners would need to be away from their work and allows candidates to generate evidence based on the actual work they are carrying out.
Written assessments are submitted electronically using online portfolios. Any classes are held online or in the evenings to fit around workplace hours.
Candidates can progress from the Level 2 SVQ in Social Services and Healthcare at SCQF level 6 to other appropriate SVQs up to and including level 4. The progression route for each candidate will depend on their job role and level of responsibility.
The SVQ is delivered part time while the candidate is gathering evidence in the workplace.

The course is fully funded by Government funding from SAAS Part Time Fee Grant or Skills Development Scotland Modern Apprenticeship Funding.
