How you’d get this certificate
- Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
- You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer Skills and Education Group Awards has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and Skills and Education Group Awards awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from Skills and Education Group Awards.
These are the units Skills and Education Group Awards registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work, and work done here is recognised as prior learning under the agreements we hold.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with Skills and Education Group Awards. It does the teaching and the mapping. Skills and Education Group Awards sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

The credits, and who awards them
Level 3 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by Skills and Education Group Awards rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.
What you would be collecting
Administering Medication to Individuals in Health and Social CareContinuing Professional Development in Health and Social CareContributing to Awareness Raising of Health IssuesMoving and Positioning Individuals in Accordance with their Care PlanObtaining and Handling Venous Blood SamplesObtaining and Testing Capillary Blood SamplesPerforming Intravenous CannulationPerforming Routine Electrocardiograph Procedures
Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.
How you’d practise it
You don’t watch this. You do it.
You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.
The Coach · your practice partner Illustration - Rehearse the conversation Apply
“Supporting Individuals to Negotiate Different Environments” is a conversation before it is a document. You have it with Zavmo playing the other person, badly at first, then again once you know what you actually want to say.
- Bring your own plan Create
For “Moving and Positioning Individuals in Accordance with their Care Plan” you bring the plan you are actually working on, not a case study. Zavmo pulls on the assumptions in it until the weak one shows.
- Draft the real one Create
You do “Performing Routine Electrocardiograph Procedures” on a real document of your own. Zavmo works on the draft you have to send anyway, so the coursework and the job are the same piece of work.
- Map a live decision Analyse
“Promoting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Health and Social Care” runs on a decision you are facing now. Zavmo maps it with you and shows what the second-order effect looks like before you find out the slow way.
