Introduction What will I learn How will I learn What's next

Introduction

The early years are critical in shaping a child's development, and as an early years practitioner, you'll play a vital role in nurturing their social, emotional, and cognitive growth. But that's not all, the field of early years and education is constantly evolving, with new research and technologies emerging, making it an exciting and dynamic industry to be a part of. So, if you're looking for a fulfilling and rewarding career that will challenge and inspire you, look no further than early years and education.

What will I learn

You will develop the skills needed to work with babies and young children through a combination of theory and practical sessions. Covering subjects including development, safeguarding, health and safety and organising activities, you will understand how children develop and learn effective techniques for interacting with young children. You’ll also get the chance to apply what you have learnt on a work placement of 350 hours minimum in an early years setting.

How will I learn

The qualification is delivered through a range of both taught and practical sessions, enabling learners to obtain the skills required to work with young children. Blended learning approaches will be used with at least some content delivered online.

What's next

Progress to one of our Foundation Degrees or into employment as a Level 3 Early Years Practitioner.
