This course can lead to any occupation or apprenticeship within the health and social care sectors, including working with client groups such as children, the elderly and people with disabilities or the physically ill.  If you get at least a Merit for your overall grade then you could progress to a level 3 qualification in health and social care (two years) and then employment, apprenticeship or university.
