Education and Care of Young Children (Entry Level Foundation Certificate) — Full-time
Course outline
This course is perfect if you want to work with children but feel worried about taking the first steps onto a course which has a placement/work experience or if you like the sound of a smaller group with lots of opportunities to learn practically.
You will learn how children learn through play, how to keep them safe and how to set up exciting activities for them.
You will also learn about becoming a professional and visit different types of places where you might work with or take children to.
You will be taking part in some of the same activities you would run with children, for example, baking, painting, clay, craft and sewing. These may be messy at times but you will learn how and what children learn from them so joining in is necessary.
