The course has been designed with the input of employers and other stakeholders to meet the needs of the industry. The course is made up of nine modules that are designed to link the theoretical knowledge of anatomy, materials, legislation, and appliance design to the practical skills required to produce fit for purpose dental appliances. The course is delivered on a part-time basis. Students will be timetabled for 1 day of study per week for a period of 3 years. On top of this, students will undertake two 30 credit 'Employment Development' modules during their time on the programme, each requiring at least 150 hours of work placement (which, for apprentice learners, can be their time in the workplace). These modules are an essential part of the learning in the foundation degree. The teaching and learning on other modules will be linked to the skills and behaviours that will be learned and developed in the work placements. The timetabled sessions for this programme will be delivered in a blended way - some sessions will require in-person attendance at Yeovil College, and some will be delivered via live, synchronous, online delivery (e.g. via Microsoft Teams). Applicants should be aware that the split of face-to-face and online delivery is determined by the content of each module and its split of practical and theoretical skills. This means that students' timetables will dictate which weeks they need to be on-site and which weeks will be delivered online - students would not be able to choose their own attendance pattern. Over the entirety of the programme, approximately half of timetabled sessions will be delivered on-campus, and half will be via live online sessions.

Understanding Distressed Behaviour in Children L2 Certificate
Trying the patience of parents is part of a child’s healthy and normal development, it’s a child’s way of practicing their independence. As difficult and frustrating as this may be for parents, these episodes often pass. Distressed behaviour in children is pro-longed and can take many forms – anger, lack of attention, physical and verbal abuse, reluctance to socialise, self-harm and risk of injury to themselves or others. The root of distressed behaviour can be varied, complex and if left unaddressed, can contribute to further mental issues in adolescence. This online short course will enable learners to gain a general awareness of the causes of distressed behaviour, along with an understanding of appropriate ways to support a child displaying distressed behaviour. Furthermore, learners will consider how other characteristics such as mental health, learning disabilities and sensory processing or autism conditions can play a role in distressed behaviour being displayed by a child. Finally, learners will gain an understanding of how current UK legislation underpins approaches to providing support for a child who displays distressed behaviour. This course is ideal for those who wish to develop their knowledge and understanding of distressed behaviour in children. It’s also valuable for anyone who is planning a career that requires an understanding of distressed behaviour and is looking to gain a qualification in this. The programme is suitable for those who desire to form a foundation due to little or no previous experience of the topic. This course is part of Yeovil College’s new range of fully-online programmes – thoughtfully designed to allow maximum flexibility around work, family, or other life commitments.

Dental Technician - Level 5 Apprenticeship (Starting between August 2025 and July 2026)
The structure of the course meets the requirements of the Level 5 Dental Technician (Integrated) Higher Apprenticeship standard. Alongside the development of knowledge, skills, and behaviours in the workplace, this apprenticeship also involves study for a Foundation Degree in Dental Technology. The aim of the Foundation Degree Dental Technology is to produce competent technicians that are able to apply for registration as Dental Technicians with the General Dental Council (GDC) upon successful completion of the programme. Throughout their studies, students should develop the knowledge, practical, intellectual, and behavioural skills necessary for a career in Dental Technology, as well as the potential to progress onto higher learning and/or senior roles. Students completing the course could go on to pursue careers as registered Dental Technicians in a range of NHS and commercial laboratory based organisations, or choose to progress into further study. The course has been designed with the input of employers and other stakeholders to meet the needs of the industry. The course is made up of nine modules that are designed to link the theoretical knowledge of anatomy, materials, legislation, and appliance design to the practical skills required to produce fit for purpose dental appliances. The course is delivered on a part-time basis. Students will be timetabled for 1 day of study per week for a period of 3 years. On top of this, students will undertake two 30 credit 'Employment Development' modules during their time on the programme, each requiring at least 150 hours of work placement (which, for apprentice learners, can be their time in the workplace). These modules are an essential part of the learning in the foundation degree. The teaching and learning on other modules will be linked to the skills and behaviours that will be learned and developed in the work placements. The timetabled sessions for this programme will be delivered in a blended way - some sessions will require in-person attendance at Yeovil College, and some will be delivered via live, synchronous, online delivery (e.g. via Microsoft Teams). Applicants should be aware that the split of face-to-face and online delivery is determined by the content of each module and its split of practical and theoretical skills. This means that students' timetables will dictate which weeks they need to be on-site and which weeks will be delivered online - students would not be able to choose their own attendance pattern. Over the entirety of the programme, approximately half of timetabled sessions will be delivered on-campus, and half will be via live online sessions.

Foundation Degree Dental Technology
The Foundation Degree Dental Technology aims to produce competent technicians that are able to apply for registration as Dental Technicians with the General Dental Council (GDC) upon successful completion of the programme. Throughout their studies, students should develop the knowledge, practical, intellectual, and behavioural skills necessary for a career in Dental Technology, as well as the potential to progress onto higher learning and/or senior roles. Students completing the course could go on to pursue careers as registered Dental Technicians in a range of NHS and commercial laboratory based organisations, or choose to progress into further study.The course has been designed with the input of employers and other stakeholders to meet the needs of the industry. The course is made up of nine modules that are designed to link the theoretical knowledge of anatomy, materials, legislation, and appliance design to the practical skills required to produce fit for purpose dental appliances.The course is available on a part-time basis. The part-time course is studied over 3 academic years, and students are typically timetabled for one day per week. On top of this, students will undertake two 30 credit 'Employment Development' modules during their time on the programme, each requiring at least 150 hours of work placement. These work placements are an essential part of the learning in the foundation degree. The teaching and learning on other modules will be linked to the skills and behaviours that will be learned and developed in the work placements.The timetabled sessions for this programme will be delivered in a blended way - some sessions will require in-person attendance at Yeovil College, and some will be delivered via live, synchronous, online delivery (e.g. via Microsoft Teams). Applicants should be aware that the split of face-to-face and online delivery is determined by the content of each module and its split of practical and theoretical skills. This means that students' timetables will dictate which weeks they need to be on-site and which weeks will be delivered online - students would not be able to choose their own attendance pattern. Over the entirety of the programme, approximately half of timetabled sessions will be delivered on-campus, and half will be via live online sessions.

Understanding Distressed Behaviour in Children L2 Certificate
Trying the patience of parents is part of a child’s healthy and normal development, it’s a child’s way of practicing their independence.

The root of distressed behaviour can be varied, complex and if left unaddressed, can contribute to further mental issues in adolescence. This online short course will enable learners to gain a general awareness of the causes of distressed behaviour, along with an understanding of appropriate ways to support a child displaying distressed behaviour. Furthermore, learners will consider how other characteristics such as mental health, learning disabilities and sensory processing or autism conditions can play a role in distressed behaviour being displayed by a child.
