The Child Care Home Practitioners – Level 3 Course gives you a valuable insight into understanding the role of learning and development in childcare settings. The home study courses deal with the legal requirements for setting up a childcare business from your own home. You will also gain a full understanding of the personal and interpersonal skills you will need to develop your career in childcare.
If you have ambitions to work in the childcare sector – as a childminder or nanny, or in a nursery or crèche, for example – this is the course for you. You’ll find the course interesting, challenging and highly rewarding, and it could lead to a whole new exciting career playing a vital role in the care, development and education of children.
The culture of long hours and the fact that more and more women are returning to work after having children has brought about something of a mini-revolution in childcare. In today’s busy world, the need for quality childcare has never been greater.
On successful completion of the home study courses students will receive a recognised level 3 award (Comparable to working at A Level or NVQ Level 3).
The home study courses have been written to meet the Every Child Matters Government - www.everychildmatters.gov.uk, and The Early Years Foundation Stage standards and are an ideal introduction to the world of Child Care. However, we must point out the course in itself will not give the qualification you need to work in this sector. Please be aware that this course provides all the underpinning knowledge to work with children, but you will need a course such as an NVQ level 3 as a minimum to work with children. Nonetheless, this course is ideal if you want a good grounding in the theory of Child Care, prior to, or in conjunction with, hands-on vocational training.
