NCFE CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care

How is this course assessed or examined?

This Level 3 diploma is designed to provide you with everything you need to develop professionally as an adult care worker, and to expand the career opportunities available to you.

As you progress on this course, you will demonstrate your ability to work at Level 3, and to take a lead role working with adults in a health and social care setting. Your skills will be assessed in a variety of ways, such as written assignments and a work-based portfolio of evidence. You will also be assessed by observations, which should take place during your normal routine. Your Oxbridge tutor will sign off your observations, as well as mark your assignments. To successfully achieve this diploma, learners must gain a total of 58 credits across all units.

Your performance in the workplace can be assessed by a workplace assessor who has held a supervisory role for over two years, and has a level 3 Health and Social Care qualification, or a colleague who holds both a Level 3 Health and Social Care qualification and an assessing qualification such as A1 or CAVA. Oxbridge will verify the suitability of your assessor, and we offer free guidance in how to observe and write in a format suitable for marking by your tutor. An Oxbridge assessor can also be provided for you if required, for an additional fee. Find out more about what’s required of an assessor here.

When you submit your written work, you will be required to include a bibliography using clear citations and references. You will also need to provide documentation of your work, such as an evidence record, and a log of placement hours. Your tutor will explain exactly what is needed.
