How long have you worked at the practice and how many days a week do you work there?

That question does not apply to this qualification. The Care Manager Diploma – Fast Track Level 5 Health and Social Care Management (8 Months) is a distance learning course, not a clinical placement or employment contract. You do not work at a practice; you study while employed in your current role. This OTHM accredited, OfQual regulated qualification (610/1537/4) is designed for deputy managers and senior carers working in UK adult social care. You complete written assignments based on your real job, not clinical hours. There are no mandatory placement days. You retain your full-time employment, applying learning to CQC readiness, rota management and safeguarding leadership. The eight-month fast track requires consistent weekly study, not workplace attendance. This career-first approach helps you step up to registered manager without leaving your job.
