What will I learn?
This is a one year course for anyone interested in working with children as a teaching assistant or nursery assistant. From this, progressing onto higher level courses can lead to qualifications which will help you to gain employment in careers such as teaching or as an early years practitioner.
The units studied cover all aspects of understanding and supporting young children’s play and development, including supporting children’s physical care needs, supporting children through play, child development, and developing professional practice skills working in the early years.
There will be the opportunity to experience
a number of work placements in a variety of childcare settings, such as primary schools, day nurseries or nursery schools, working with children aged 0-8 years. Placements are a major part of this course because there is no better way to learn about working with babies and young children than through first-hand experience and all students will complete 300 hours of work placement.
Please note that as part of the course you will also study English and Maths, and you will need to complete a Disclosure and Barring Services (DBS) check to confirm you do not have any cautions or convictions which would put in question your suitability to work in these areas.
How will I be assessed?
The course is assessed through coursework which takes the form of assignments, presentations and successful completion of each placement.
What enrichment can I look forward to?
Activities can include:
• guest speakers
• visits relevant to your vocational area
• fundraising activities
• access to college enrichment activities
What progression is there?
The course prepares you to progress in college, onto an Apprenticeship, or into employment.
