Apprenticeship standards are employer-led, meaning that employers can specify exactly what’s required from an apprentice in each specific role, they also ensure you get the best out of your Apprenticeship experience. The Apprenticeship consists of skills, knowledge and behaviours required to carry out your job role which are delivered and carried out both in the workplace, through teaching & learning and independent learning. Early Years Educators are highly trained professionals who play a key role in ensuring that young children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. They work in a range of settings including full day care, children’s centres, pre schools, reception classes and as childminders. As an early years educator who will be asked to plan and supervise child initiated and adult led activities, support children to develop numeracy and language skills, observe each child and shapes their learning experience to reflect their observations and work in partnership with other colleagues, parents and/or carers or other professionals to meet the individual needs of each child.

This course is delivered onsite every week on Fridays, giving learners the chance to study in a structured classroom environment with consistent and immediate hands-on tutor guidance. These frequent face-to-face sessions provide crucial opportunities for deep discussion, rapid feedback on practical activities, and regular peer collaboration. Between sessions, learners can reinforce their weekly learning and prepare for the next class independently using our comprehensive online resources, ensuring continuous momentum and high levels of engagement throughout the course.
Skills, knowledge and behaviours are assessed by competencies being displayed in the workplace, observations, employer feedback, assessor progress reviews, evidence collating and the employer enabling you to fulfil the requirements of your Apprenticeship.
On programme assessment will include various coaching and mentoring assessment methods. These assessments are deigned to review the behaviours, knowledge and skills against set gateway criteria. In addition you, your employer and the college are required to maintain an off the job training log evidencing new skills and knowledge being learnt over the duration of the apprenticeship. The final grading of the apprenticeship will be carried out through an End Point Assessment, by an independent assessor.
