Immersive learning
What is immersive learning?
Immersive learning refers to the use of technologies and techniques to provide a more engaging and interactive learning experience. These technologies can include virtual reality, augmented reality, and simulations. When used in healthcare, this approach allows learners to practice and master various medical procedures, clinical scenarios, and patient interactions in a safe, controlled, and realistic environment.
With the help of immersive learning, learners can hope to improve their clinical skills, decision-making, and communication abilities. Ultimately leading to overall better patient outcomes and experiences. Additionally, immersive learning can also enhance medical education by making it more accessible, efficient, and flexible, enabling learners to acquire knowledge and skills at their own pace and convenience.
Included scenarios:
- Working as a carer in a residential care home
- Working as a senior carer in a residential care home
- Working as a carer in a domiciliary role
- Dealing with a fallen individual in a community setting
We partner with a wide range of care providers to support those most in need
“I was only going to spend a few months in care until I figured out what I wanted to do, but I soon realised I loved it. The biggest challenge was the functional skills tests (the maths and English), but my Personal Tutor was brilliant. There was no such thing as a stupid question”
Neil Baxter, Level 2 Adult Care Worker
What Qualifications Do You Need to Apply?
With any Level 2 apprenticeship, there are no qualification requirements to be met. However, it would be preferred if the applicant has an English and maths GCSE.
