Assistant Practitioner Higher Apprenticeship: Health and Social Care FdSc

Course Overview

The overarching aim of the course is to facilitate the development of the Assistant Practitioner. However, some students have completed this program and utilized the credits (240) to progress on to other degree programs. This Foundation Degree is distinctive because of the unique way in which it integrates: interprofessional learning, accessibility, articulation and progression, employer involvement, flexibility, and partnership working. While none of these attributes are unique to Foundation Degrees, their clear and planned integration within a single award underpinned by work-based learning makes the award highly distinctive.
