Assessment is completed through a portfolio of evidence, including written coursework that demonstrates your understanding of diabetes and its care and management.

You'll explore the different types of diabetes, prevention, initial care and ongoing treatment considerations through knowledge-based assessments.

The qualification focuses on developing understanding rather than assessing clinical competence.

This qualification is awarded by Training Qualifications UK (TQUK), a recognised UK awarding organisation that develops regulated vocational qualifications across sectors including health and social care.

Upon successful completion, learners achieve the TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Understanding the Care and Management of Diabetes (RQF) (601/4617/5), a nationally recognised qualification regulated by Ofqual.

The certificate demonstrates knowledge of diabetes, prevention, early intervention and ongoing care.

At Flexible Online Courses, we also work with other recognised awarding organisations, including NCFE, to provide a range of professional and vocational qualifications.
