How do I enrol?

Overview

This course is aimed at people new to early years or unqualified staff in the role of early years practitioner. You can be in a paid or volunteer role, but you will need to have regular hours with your early years setting prior to and during the course. (This could include a child-minding setting.) This approved qualification allows a learner to count towards the Level 2 ratio as a qualified Level 2 Early Years Practitioner within the Early Years Workforce.

You will develop a range of skills and techniques, personal qualities and attitudes essential for working with children, families, and colleagues. This qualification prepares learners to work with children from birth to five years, with knowledge of children up to seven years. There are 14 units including: supporting child development, promoting play, supporting children with SEND, positive behaviour, communicating and maintaining professional relationships, safeguarding, equality and safety.

The course is delivered through tutor led face to face and online learning. There will be a mixture of tasks and discussions, Q and A, and time to practice your skills in your setting. If the session is online, the tutor will use break out rooms for small group work in addition to the above and there will be some e-learning to support your knowledge development. In the work place you should have the opportunity to observe and or shadow experienced colleagues modelling good practice.
