With the deadline for applications for the next intake at the end of March, all those considering enrolling need to apply swiftly to ensure their places on the next course.
In partnership with Kingston University and in association with the Sector Skills Councils of Skills for Health and SEMTA, the Department of Health, IHEEM and the IDSc, this Degree course from Eastwood Park is a new qualification designed by employers to make sure their skill needs are being met. This particular programme can be studied on a flexible basis, as it is delivery by a blend of learning methods.
John Thatcher, Director of Training and CEO of Eastwood Park commented: “The new Foundation Degree qualifications are ideal for staff that don’t want to give up their job to study full-time and are a great way of achieving personal educational aims using a more vocational route. It is likely that elements of the programme will be studied in the workplace, at home and at Eastwood Park. However, the closing date for applications is imminent if they want to take part this spring. ”
