PDA Health and Social Care Supervision (SCQF Level 7)

The Professional Development Award (PDA) in Health and Social Care Supervision meets the SSSC’s registration requirements for supervisors, in conjunction with a relevant care related qualification at SVQ3, or equivalent. Please see the SSSC website for more information.

This applies to the following roles:

• Supervisor in a care home service for adults
• Supervisor in a housing support service

Our PDA is delivered as a three month programme consisting of five online tutorials and 1:1 feedback and support during the assignment writing stage. Tutorials combine teaching, group activities and individual reflection to make the most of the development opportunities provided by group settings. Candidates will have the opportunity to learn from each other’s experience and knowledge in a variety of care settings, as well as developing a solid knowledge base around key areas of the supervisor’s role.

The Units contained within the PDA are:
