Health and Social Care Apprenticeships

Our Health and Social Care Apprenticeships are designed to be suitable for a variety of roles in the Adult Social Care and Health sectors, with a Higher Level Apprenticeship available for those with management responsibilities.

The SASE Health and Social Care Apprenticeship frameworks are being withdrawn in December 2017 and with the introduction of the new qualifications we will be withdrawing qualifications that formed part of the existing SASE apprenticeship.

We are required to set an operational end date as 31st December 2017 (last date for registrations) but have set the certification end date to 31st July 2019.
