Education & Early Years

This course is for you if you want a career working with children up to the age of 7 years. The course is challenging and requires stamina and organisational skills; students find the experience on the course life changing and rewarding.

On successful completion at the end of the two years, you will achieve the ‘license to practice’ part of the qualification. The course includes attendance at placements, and you will be expected to pass competencies on your work placement, as well as completing college work to a high standard, to be successful on the course.

Lessons are engaging and very interactive. You will learn how to plan activities and make resources ready for early years teaching. We have educational trips to Eureka, forest schools and an opportunity to travel abroad to work with children in more deprived countries.  

On completion of the course, you can consider the following career pathways either through Higher Education, Training or Employment: early years teacher, primary school teacher, early years practitioner, teaching assistant, play therapist, nanny in UK or abroad, playworker & children’s centre worker.
