You will join a committed and highly enthusiastic group of students and find a warm and supportive environment, learning skills, knowledge and values that will equip you for your chosen career.
We integrate service users and carers in all elements of our programme from selection of staff and students through to assessments and involvement in programme management.
The programme is divided into three phases, the Foundation phase, the Intermediate phase and the Final phase. Students achieve learning both through college based blocks of teaching and through practice learning opportunities. Students must evidence 'fitness for practice' in the Foundation phase of their study.
Students will complete one 80 day period of assessed practice within a suitable agency in the Intermediate phase and 120 days in the Final phase. Suitably qualified and experienced practitioners assess both periods of practice. In college you will experience good quality teaching on a variety of topics.
