Public Services > Extended Certificate Level 2

This vocational course, equivalent to four GCSEs (A* to C), provides an excellent starting point for students considering a career working in the public sector and for those interested in further study of society, the individual and current affairs. 

Before You Start

You may be required to complete an activity before you start in order to help introduce you to the subject. Check back in the summer term for more details.

Course Content

Over the course of the year you will learn through a wide range of both theory and practical units with opportunities to practice and develop teamwork and leadership skills outside of the classroom environment. Students may also be able to partake in course related trips where they will gain a wider understanding of the public sector and embed valuable knowledge which can be used in future assessment. 

This course is excellent preparation for students who would like to progress on to Level 3 Extended Diploma in Public Services. Alternatively, students may consider direct entry into related employment or further training through apprenticeship.

Students are required to complete at least 30 hours of enrichment per academic year whilst studying at The Henley College, learn more about Enrichment here.
