Childcare Skills

Assessment

In order to achieve the Level 3 Technical Diploma in Childcare and Education learners must achieve a pass grade D or above for all internally assessed mandatory units of the course. Learners must also achieve a pass grade D or above for the external assessment (externally set, externally assessed). In addition to knowledge-based criteria, learners must pass all the practical assessment criteria for each age range, requiring a substantial number of work placement hours throughout the duration of the course in appropriate early years settings.
