The Integrated Vocational Route has been specially developed by the OU to provide learners with a unique opportunity to combine their Level 3 Diploma or SVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care with the 60 credit higher education module, K101 An Introduction to Health and Social Care. This combined route will be available to suit both the Adults sector and the Children and Young People’s sector.
