Course Description

Early Learning and Child Care plus Child Care Bundle

From September 2010 two significant changes to qualifications for people working (or planning to work) in the Child Care sector have taken place. These are to be fully implemented from January 2011 and are:

1. The introduction of a new national qualifications system called Qualifications Credit Framework (QCF) which provides for a credit based system of qualification accreditation where student will study units of learning and obtain credits for them towards nationally recognised qualifications.

2. The introduction of new qualifications for the child care sector, overseen by the Sector Skills Council.

Students can gain a broad understanding of key elements of the child care role and progress as far as possible by distance learning and receive accreditation for your work.  You can then complete a full qualification in the workplace through additional assessment, whilst gaining credit for the units completed by distance learning.

NCC Home Learning's Child Care Diploma course leads to a nationally-recognised Level 3 Award accredited by NCFE. It has been designed to enable you to strengthen and develop your knowledge and understanding of home-based childcare practice.

Course topics covered within the Child Care Diploma course include: The introduction to childcare practice, childcare and child development (0-16), the childcare practitioner and planning to meet children's individual needs.

The Child Care Diploma course will help you to improve your knowledge and skills, meet the requirements for basic training as part of childminder registration or application to be a registered childminder and undertake professional development.
