Work experience and visits to settings is a key part of a student’s study programme, providing opportunities for applying learning and for building employability skills. The settings we use include hospices, residential care homes, schools, day centres, nursing homes, medical museums and activity centres.
Guest speakers and study visits are crucial to the way we deliver our course – we want you to have an exciting experience which really prepares you for your next steps! You will get plenty of notice of these visits and trips so that you save for them, although we try and keep them as cheap as possible.
