Carving a career path: Fatimatu's Diploma in Adult Care

Fatimatu Alhassan loves working in the care sector, making a difference in people’s lives. She knew adding a qualification to her CV would put her in a strong position for progression. And, it has. Fatimatu now has options, and is keen to put her new skills to good use.

Broadening her care horizons

At tend, we love hearing all the ways our programmes transform careers. Take Fatimatu Alhassan for example. When the opportunity to study for a Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care with tend came up, she grabbed it with both hands.

tend sat down with Fatimatu to talk about her course, the challenges, the triumphs, and what she plans on doing with her new qualification.

tend: It’s great to catch up with you, Fatimatu! Tell everyone a little bit about yourself.

FA: Hi! My name’s Fatimatu Alhassan. I work full-time as a Support Worker at ivolve. I’ve just completed my Diploma in Adult Care with tend, and I’m looking forward to seeing where it takes me.

tend: That’s amazing! We’re so excited for you. How would you describe your learning experience?

FA: It’s been really fulfilling to complete my Diploma in Adult Care with tend. I gained a deeper understanding of person-centred care, safeguarding, and the significance of fostering independence and dignity in what I do.

 

tend: Sounds fantastic. How did you find earning while learning?

FA: Balancing work, studies, and home life was difficult at first. My Development Coach made a significant impact, though. She was always patient, kind, and supportive, even when I doubted myself. Her feedback kept me motivated and confident throughout the course of study.

tend: We’re so glad to hear that. How would you say the programme has impacted you?

FA: In addition to enhancing my expertise and practice, this qualification has given me more self-assurance at work. I feel more equipped to help people with a range of needs now. I’m more conscious of the difference I can make every day.

tend: That’s wonderful! So, what’s next for you?

FA: After earning this diploma, I have more professional options. I’ve been reminded of how much I love changing people’s lives. We’ll see!

It’s been really fulfilling to complete my Diploma in Adult Care with tend. I gained a deeper understanding of person-centred care, safeguarding, and the significance of fostering independence and dignity in what I do.
