Promoting independence : S/NVQ level 3, candidate handbook

Candidates can now take a specialist route through their NVQ in order to work with the elderly or those with special needs.

This title is specially written for these candidates.

The title covers 5 mandatory units of the award and 10 of the option units, providing students with a choice in their selection of option units.

Case studies encourage candidates to apply their learning in the context of the type of work they will be doing, whilst "Check It Out" sections aim to help candidates build on their own experiences and give them confidence in their work. "Test Youself" sections ensure candidates understand all the theory they have learnt. "Active Knowledge" tasks help candidates to apply the theory in their own place of work.
