Children's Care, Play, Learning and Development - core only

Adults & Part-time

Course Description

Part of an apprenticeship focusing on the level 2 core knowledge only (this is not a full qualification - the practice element is needed to be a full qualification).

This course is ideal for those wishing to gain employment within the child care sector. Given that the course is theory-based, it gives individuals the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge prior to entering into the childcare arena.

The course is designed for individual guided learning and could be fitted around those already in employment in a different sector but wanting to change careers.

Entry Criteria

Successful interview and initial assessment.

Delivery

Five core units to be completed which cover elements such as safeguarding and the theories of child development

Delivery for this course is remote although learners can go to any of our sites to meet up with an assessor if needed.

Assessment

To achieve this qualification, learners must undertake the five core units and also complete a multiple choice exam (learners MUST come into one of the college campuses to sit the exam).

Progression

On successful completion of the core element it is possible to progress to the practical element of the qualification, thus enabling an individual to gain the full Level 2 or 3 framework in Children's Care, Play Learning and Development.

To gain the practical element an individual must be employed within the sector for a minimum of 10 hours and either be successful in gaining a place on the apprenticeship or pay for this element themselves.
