COURSE INFORMATION
There are currently greatly increased opportunities to work with children and young people and this is a Scottish Social Services Council recognised practitioner level qualification for working in early years’ settings. It provides the opportunity for practical, real-life work experience through an extended work placement within an early years setting.

Assessments include essay, research tasks, SVQ Observations, and a Graded Unit which is an independent project that requires you to work autonomously to examine an area of childhood practice.
There is a minimum mandatory 60 days’ work placement in an early years and in primary School setting.
