NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care
Advanced Workplace Qualification for Senior Care Professionals
Progress into senior responsibility with a recognised Level 3 qualification. Designed for experienced care professionals working in adult social care who are ready to take on greater responsibility within residential, domiciliary, supported living or community settings.
Although the official regulated title is now the Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care (England) under the RQF, the term "NVQ Level 3" remains widely recognised across the UK care sector. This qualification is delivered through structured workplace assessment and aligned with Innovative Centre for Qualifications (ICQ) standards.

Both pages refer to the same workplace-based Level 3 qualification aligned with ICQ standards. The difference is terminology, not delivery.
