Who are we?

We exist to produce top quality apprentices and support employers in bridging them to the right apprentice such as yourself.

What will you learn in this course?

Our Early Years Educator Level 3 course will help apprentices practice the importance of observation when working with children, promoting a healthy lifestyle and developing literacy and mathematical skills. This practice will be underpinned by knowledge in planning and reviewing, legislation and regulations and supporting children and their parents/carers. Apprentices will increase in confidence and professionalism throughout their early years practitioner journey and become a valuable member of any educational team.

 

Knowledge you’ll gain:

  • The expected patterns of children’s development from birth to 5 years, and have an understanding of further development from age 5 to 7.
  • How children’s learning and development can be affected by their stage of development and individual circumstances such as moving school, birth of a sibling, family breakdown and adoption and care.
  • The legal requirements and guidance on health and safety, security, confidentiality of information, safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.

 

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

 

Individual employers may set any entry requirements which may include:

 

It is desirable that candidates would have achieved a level 2 in Maths and English (equivalent to GCSE Grade C or above) prior to commencing their Apprenticeship training. For those Apprentices who are yet to achieve a level 2 in Maths and English, they will have the opportunity to complete these qualifications during their childcare course. However, a level 2 must be achieved in these areas before they qualify for entry to their end-point assessment.

 

Skills:

  • Plan and lead activities, purposeful play opportunities and educational programmes. This includes the learning and development areas of current early education curriculum requirements.

  • Identify the needs, interests and stages of development of individual children during early childhood.

 

Behaviours:

  • Care and compassion
  • Honesty, trust and integrity
  • Work in a non-discriminatory way

 

Throughout the duration of the Apprenticeship, your staff will develop a range of new knowledge, skills and behaviours which will add significant value to each Apprentices’ overall learning, progress and development. Benefits of this early years educator level 3 online course include:

 

  • You will see improved staff retention
  • Work in partnership with a nationally recognised training provider
  • Employees will achieve a nationally recognised level 3 qualification within an early years setting
  • Employees get access to award-winning learning and assessment materials

  • Rapid improvements within your employee’s performance, productivity and behaviours which will benefit your organisations services

Once you have completed this Apprenticeship, you could progress on to the following:

  • Practitioner in day nurseries
  • Practitioner in nursery schools
  • Practitioner in reception classes in primary schools
  • Pre-school worker

Learners can progress to the Foundation Degree in Early Years, Playwork and Education or the Level 4 Certificate for the Early Years Advanced Practitioner if you are in a management role.
