Course summary

This two-year program is best suited to those wanting to work or support children. This qualification has a wide range of psychological theories exploring child development. There is no coursework for this program, you will be assessed through a mixture of exams and projects. You will attend a placement in a local early years setting once a week to be able to practice all of the theories you have learned in the classroom. After successful completion, you will have gained accreditation as an Early Years Educator, with a license to practice as well as UCAS points allowing them to progress onto university.
