Course introduction

This programme will help you to become more effective in many areas of your work, from understanding how to prepare a healthy diet and how nutritional values will support the people you care for.

If you are looking to enhance your career development in care, this programme will give you the opportunity to look at parts of the job you may not currently be involved with.

The programme is divided into three core modules, each concentrating on an important aspect of health eating and nutrition.

This is designed to be used as reading material to support workshop style delivery or as a flexible learning package, which you can work through at your own pace. Each module asks you to complete a number of structured questions and activities to ensure that you have absorbed the required underpinning knowledge and to provide evidence for core skills assessment.

The Activities and Assessments Workbook that is included in your learning pack contains all of these questions, as well as exercises and activities for revision to reinforce your learning.

All of these must be assessed by your Tutor/mentor.

Required knowledge

The good news is that no prior learning knowledge or experience is essential to take this course.

This course is openly available to anyone wishing to learn more about healthy eating and nutrition and would like to take part in a highly rewarding home study course. You have the freedom to start the course at any time and continue your studies at your own pace for a period of up to 12 months from initial registration with full tutor support.

Assessment

The Certificate of Achievement from Quality Licence Scheme is gained by successfully completing a series of assignments. Your personal tutor will review, mark and provide you with feedback on your work.

Certification

At the end of this course successful learners will receive a Certificate of Achievement from Quality Licence Scheme and a Learner Unit Summary (which lists the components the learner has completed as part of the course). 

The course has been endorsed under the Quality Licence Scheme. This means that NCC Home Learning has undergone an external quality check to ensure that the organisation and the courses it offers, meet defined quality criteria. The completion of this course alone does not lead to a regulated qualification* but may be used as evidence of knowledge and skills gained. The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject. To this end the learning outcomes of the course have been benchmarked at QLS Level 2 against level descriptors published by Ofqual, to indicate the depth of study and level of demand/complexity involved in successful completion by the learner. 

The Quality Licence Scheme is part of the Skills and Education Group, a charitable organisation that unites education and skills-orientated organisations that share similar values and objectives. With more than 100 years of collective experience, the Skills and Education Group’s strategic partnerships create opportunities to inform, influence and represent the wider education and skills sector. 

The Skills and Education Group’s knowledge and experience of working within the awarding sector enables them to work with training providers, through the Quality Licence Scheme, to help them develop high-quality courses and/or training programmes for the non-regulated market. 

*Regulated qualification refers to those qualifications that are regulated by Ofqual / CCEA / Qualification Wales

FAQs

What does NCC stand for?

NCC originally stood for the National Consortium of FE (Further Education) Colleges. This brought together the FE Colleges to achieve the best provision. Regular national meetings were attended by both Colleges and Government agencies who funded them. This was very helpful to them both to best deliver training to their students.

For more than 25 years NCC has supplied FE Colleges with learning materials as well as student marketing.

NCC now specialise in online training of a very high quality to students both self-funded, paid for by schools, employers and training providers.
