Course Overview
Prepare for a social work career with this two-year Social Work Professional Practice course. Develop your academic and writing skills as you explore key topics such as human growth and development, and apply your knowledge to a real-life setting during 175 hours of practical work experience. Successful students will gain the maximum 168 UCAS points needed to progress to a social work degree and become a fully qualified social worker. At B&FC, you will have access to first-rate facilities and excellent work placements with local employers. Our expert tutors provide lots of individual support to help you on your journey to this hugely rewarding profession.
Entry Requirements
To do this course you need 5 GCSEs at grades 9-4 (previously grades A*-C) including English and Maths. A level 2 health and social care qualification is beneficial but not essential.
You will also need to have a clear DBS (criminal records check) as this is a requirement for your work placement.
If you are a year 11 student applying for this programme, we will compare your GCSE results with the minimum target grades set for you by your school. This will help us decide whether this is your most suitable programme of study. Other students, including those from outside the area, will have an opportunity to discuss their qualifications and experience to make sure they too are studying at the right level. For some programmes, we might need to observe you carrying out certain practical tasks before we can make you an offer.
