Unlocking potential & being the best you can be
What is the Higher Development Award?
First developed in 2016, Learning and Development Leads at Health Education England (HEE) identified what additional training would mean to further develop the support workforce following the Care Certificate. A programme to enable a knowledge base to be developed for progressing their career or remaining in their current role. For most learners this programme is building on a wealth of skills and experience already held.
The fully funded Higher Development Award aims to provide experienced employees from the clinical and non-clinical workforce of acute, community and social care settings, with the opportunity to develop the core knowledge, skills, behaviours and values required to progress and practice safely within their roles. The level one award is in three parts, the personal development award, improvement project and opportunity to attend functional skills sessions. Contact your local college and apply today!
