The FdA in Health and Wellbeing (Assistant Practitioner) Higher Apprenticeship is a course designed to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours in line with the occupational standards for Assistant Practitioners.

The course provides a flexible work-based learning programme, to develop knowledge of key areas of health and social care, including the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors, which is supported by government strategies (Skills for Health, 2016). The Foundation Degree is an employment-based higher education qualification and is offered as part of the Higher Apprenticeship, which is aligned with the Assistant Practitioner (Health) Apprenticeship Standard.

Aimed at support workers who work alongside registered healthcare professionals in areas such as hospitals, clinics or in the community providing quality person-centred health and social care, the course provides students with the opportunity to remain employed within their current workplace, combining a mix of work-related specialist skills whilst studying as an apprentice.
