Level 3 Diploma in Midwifery

Skills and Education Group Awards has developed the diploma Midwifery specifically for learners who wish to develop a fundamental understanding of the knowledge base required of a higher education nursing student.

This diploma is aimed at a range of target groups, including people who are returning to education after being employed in similar sectors; people seeking qualifications to enable them to change their career path and learners seeking a foundation in several subjects related to Nursing before moving on to higher level study.

The diploma is open to younger learners aged 19+. However, it is designed with mature learners in mind, therefore the inclusion of study skills and preparing to apply to higher education is included in the units of this diploma to support those returning to education after a break.

Level 3 diplomas are a vital tool in widening participation in higher education, targeted directly at mature learners attracting mostly people from areas of disadvantage who are either unemployed or low-earners.
