Many students progress within the Care & Childhood Studies Department starting with a Level 2 course and leaving with a level 5 qualification, and often return to College to update skills as industry standards develop.

The department also offers the Welsh Baccalaureate qualification alongside the First Diploma in Health & Social Care, which accredits many of the extra curricular activities students routinely get involved with, such as community work, enterprise activities and learning either Welsh or a modern foreign language.
