Overview

Children are the future, and as such, they need to be taken care of. A young child doesn’t always know what is best for them or what is actually happening to them. That is why taking care of their health is so important, and with the help of this Health Care Assistant Course (Children) , you will be able to do so.

This is an extensive course and starts out by giving you an introduction to children health as you learn about disease patterns across different age and mortality rates in different stages. Next, you will focus on the procedure to take patient history and physical examination before moving onto essential care for hospitalized children. This course will also teach you to take care of newborn babies, address congenital abnormalities such as an umbilical hernia, understand normal growth and development, and find out about nutrition and nutritional deficiencies. Furthermore, you will learn about various related diseases and so much more.

While a lot of these things might sound grim, knowing about them is what will help you tackle these problems. And if you think you are up to the challenge, then get this course immediately and learn to take care of children against anything.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
