Additional qualifications:

First Aid training is crucial for a career in Early Years and therefore a compulsory part of your study programme is to undertake First Aid training here at college. A £28 fee will be made during your enrolment process to cover this.

The student will learn how the theory of Early years relates to the practice of an Early Years practitioner. Within the workplace, the students will gain relevant industry experience whilst working with children of all ages under the supervision of other professionals within the setting.
Industry Placement is a fantastic opportunity for you to get hands-on experience and is also a compulsory and invaluable part of your course. Depending on your course and level you will be required to attend a weekly day placement and/or block placements of one week or more. This will be discussed with you once you commence your study programme.
We have a fantastic Industry Placement Team who will support you along your placement journey.
