About the Level 4 Diploma in Adult Care
This course is perfect for supervisors or carers working towards a higher position at work. This level 4 RQF will teach learners how to deliver care within their workplace. It also helps them understand some of the more advanced skills needed to treat their patients. This course is a great break between level 3 and level 5 courses and is perfect for learners looking to improve their care skills. For management roles, we recommend the level 5 or level 7 RQFs.
This qualification replaced the QCF Level 4 in health and social care, which in turn replaced the NVQ Level 4 in health and social care.
This diploma is fully accredited by Highfield Qualifications.
