Develop the professional skills and knowledge needed to become an Early Years Practitioner and start a career in the early years sector with our part time course for Adults.

You will gain an insight into a variety of aspects relating to the early years curriculum and caring for children from birth to seven years of age.

This course will cover:

• Introduction to the role of the Early Years Practitioner
• Child development
• Legislation framework and professional practice
• Play development and preparing for school

Alongside classroom-based learning, you will complete a work placement in an early years setting to gain practical experience and demonstrate your knowledge and skills.

Assessment is through written assignments, professional discussions and work-based assessments.

Upon successful completion of the course, you can progress onto further study in early years and child care, or an Apprenticeship. You can also begin your career in an entry level job in the sector such as a nursery practitioner, classroom assistant or pre-school practitioner.
