Do you want to try health and education to see if it's the right move for you after school?
If you can see yourself making a difference in the lives of children or helping people stay healthy and active for a longer life, this course is your first step.
You don't need to have it all figured out yet.
This course lets you try health, education, and wellbeing to find a subject that suits you.
You'll also get extra support to improve your Maths and English grades, so you can progress to another qualification at Bath College.
Why should you take this course?
You usually need a grade 2 in GCSE Maths and English.
But we understand that you might not achieve those results.
If you don't achieve these grades, our tutors will invite you to a relaxed interview to find the right starting point for you.
ELEVATE courses always meet you at the right place in your journey to help you try new subjects and feel ready for your next step.
By the end of the course, you'll know what you want to do next and how to get there.
You'll try health, education, and wellbeing across the year.
One day, you might learn how to keep people active in our modern gym.
The next, you might create a safe space for children in the new Early Years Education Suite that feels like a nursery.
You could also learn how to care for a vulnerable person in our Health Ward Simulation that feels like a real hospital ward.
Every day is different. And you'll try simple tasks in different subjects to find the right one for you.
Our tutors will support you every step of the way.
It's okay to make mistakes thats part of trying something new and learning.
In the classroom, you'll get extra help to pass GCSE Maths and English if you dont yet have a grade 4.
This will help you progress to a Level 2 course in whichever subject you choose.
You'll also complete written assignments and presentations. But you'll get extra support from your tutor.
You'll attend Personal Development workshops to build your confidence for your studies and job interviews.
If you're unsure about your next step, you can meet regularly with your tutor for support.
After this course, you will have a clearer idea of which subject you want to study.
If you achieve a grade 4 in Maths and English by the end of the course, you can progress to:
Then, once you complete a Level 2 course, you could start an apprenticeship in early years education or health and social care to earn while you learn.
Or you could progress to a Level 3 subject to open the door to more career options or university.
If you don't know what you want to do yet, that's okay.
You can talk to our Career Advisers and your tutor for guidance.

IT equipment required for the course is provided by the College. However, it would be an advantage if learners have an appropriate device (PC, Laptop, Tablet) at home for independent study. All learners are expected to bring their own notepads, pens and relevant stationery supplies to college, so that they are ready to learn.
The range of units in each Elevate pathway has been carefully chosen to assist learners in making informed decisions about their career pathways while also preparing them for a Level 2 programme of study. By engaging with a diverse range of units, learners will have the opportunity to explore different subject areas and develop a broad skill set that will help guide their future educational and professional choices.
Additionally, learners will benefit from interactions with teaching staff from various curriculum areas, providing them with valuable exposure to different expertise and approaches. This well-rounded experience ensures that learners are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in their next stage of learning.
Bath College provides all the equipment for you.
But you should bring your own notebooks and pens to lessons so you can take notes.
If you need help with the cost of notepads and pens, travel to and from college, or free college meals, please email studentfunding@bathcollege.ac.uk.
