Personal and Social Development Courses
Our Personal and Social Development qualifications are designed to support learners to become physically, emotionally and socially healthy, and to be responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society. Many of our learners find these courses beneficial to support them with developing their own confidence and personal skills, as well as supporting their children. Additionally, many learners who are looking to progress in careers including healthcare, childcare, or as teaching assistant find these qualifications particularly useful to build awareness and top tips for some of the social challenges you may work with.
