Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care.
The most interesting part of my course was learning a variety of new topics, I enjoyed learning about Mental Health and Health Psychology. The topics were always different and were taught thoroughly by our tutors Cheryl and Anna. We would learn by doing different activities and experiments instead of just always being at a desk, which I found was the best way to learn.
