Palliative Care

Ascentis Level 2 Award

A distance learning course is the ideal way to gain a Palliative Care award. Whether you're looking to go on to further education, improve your job prospects or expand your knowledge, distance learning Palliative Care is a flexible and convenient course, which allows you to comprehensively prepare for an exam or career through home study. What's more, because the distance learning Level 2 Palliative Care course is a fully comprehensive course, no prior knowledge is required.

This programme is designed to be accessible for freestanding study by non-specialists in this area and to facilitate integration within employer training programmes in health and social care.

Learners complete 4 units: understanding palliative care; understanding a person's needs in a palliative care context; supporting a person with their physical care needs; care during the final hours of life and bereavement care.

HOME STUDY SUPPORT

You will be provided with comprehensive materials designed to provide you with everything required to complete your course of study. You will have your own personal tutor helping you with your course work and with any questions you may have. Plus you can contact our Student Advisors by email or phone for all the practical advice you may need – so we really are with you 100%.

What's more, you'll have access to the online student portal, where you can interact with other students, browse our resource library and manage your account.

COURSE ASSESSMENT

Completing a series of tutor marked assignments together with an end of course multi-choice questionnaire, will lead you to the highly acclaimed Ascentis Certificate in Palliative Care.

Upon verification of the activities, exercises and assignments, a nationally recognised certificate will be awarded by Ascentis as confirmation that your written work has met all of the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for the programme.

COURSE DURATION

We recommended you spend approximately 100 hours of your time studying for the course name. The pace of study is completely up to you. To give an example, if you dedicate 2 hours a week to the course it would take you a year to complete but if you could spare 4 hours a week you could complete it in six months.

Get started today, and you can earn your Level 2 Ascentis Certificate in Palliative Care in as little as six months, or take up to a year, if you prefer – the choice is yours.
