Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care

About the Opportunity.

What is the training opportunity?

If you currently work in Adult Social Care you can complete a Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care. This is the perfect progression route after completing a Level 1 & Level 2 certification in Adult Social Care.

If you already work in a care-based position, this qualification will endorse your competencies for senior-level roles in hospitals, domiciliary care, community support and other care settings. This certified adult care course would also allow you to pursue self-employed opportunities in private care roles, for example.

Having this Care Quality Commission (CQC)-recognised course under your belt is a statement of your knowledge, skills and professional standards when it comes to working with adults in a range of care environments (e.g. residential, assisted living, home care, primary care and acute health).

“Care workers with more years of experience in the sector and higher levels of training and qualifications were paid more on average.” – Skills for Care Workforce Report 2022

“We must make it easier for the people who love working in social care to stay by… investing in their career development.” (Skills for Care CEO, Oonagh Smyth)
