Overview
The aim of this qualification is to provide you with the knowledge and understanding of babies and young children from birth to 7 years of age with applied knowledge in the early years, 0-5 years. It covers a range of job roles working in Early Years.
Course Content - What will I learn?
You will learn about: the developing child, what makes a safe, healthy and nurturing environment for children and the importance of play on a child’s development.
You will undertake 300 hours of work placement which will be arranged by the college. You will also continue to develop your maths and English skills throughout the programme.
Am I right for the course?
You will require a commitment to working with children from 0 to 7 years. You should also have good communication skills as being able to talk to children and other adults is important.
A minimum of 4 GCSEs at Grade 4 – 9 including Maths, English and Science (with an opportunity to retake only one core GCSE). A satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS).
Students are assessed for knowledge, skills and practical competence in placement through observation and dialogue (and therefore complete written work/tasks relating to this).
