FAQ’s

We offer a variety of childcare courses, including apprenticeships and training courses for early years and childminders. Our courses cover a range of careers in the childcare and education industries, such as Early Years Practitioner, Early Years Educator, and Teaching Assistant. Our courses provide hands-on experience and intellectual development to help you excel in your chosen career in the childcare or education sectors.

Daily tasks in childcare roles can vary depending on the specific position. Some common responsibilities include assisting teachers with preparation, engaging with students in the classroom, and ensuring a secure atmosphere for children. Other tasks may involve helping children at mealtimes, assisting children with washing, and using conventional teaching methods to support their learning and development.

Our childcare courses are designed to accommodate people in employment by offering flexible study options, such as part-time study and distance learning courses. We understand that many students have other commitments, so our courses allow you to balance your work and study effectively.

We provide a range of support services to our students, including one-to-one counselling, access to experts in childcare, and resources for building their basic skills. Our courses are led by experienced professionals in the Health & Social Care and education sectors who are committed to ensuring students receive the support they need to succeed.

Our childcare courses include curriculum requirements that emphasize the importance of communication and collaboration between care providers and parents. Through our study programme, students will gain experience in nurseries and other care settings, learning how to maintain contact between parents and effectively support the children’s learning and development. This hands-on experience prepares students for a successful career in care and education.
