Course Overview

We work with employers to make sure you graduate with the knowledge, skills, and abilities they need. They help us review what we teach and how we teach it €“ and they offer hands-on, practical opportunities to learn through work-based projects, internships, or placements. This course takes into account the Children's Workforce Development Council and the Early Years Professional Framework. It will teach you the skills you need to work effectively in the early childhood sector such as nurseries and pre-schools. When you graduate, youll be able to apply to work in any registered setting in England, without needing to retrain. On the other hand, you could choose further studies, such as a relevant Masters degree, or a PGCE course which would qualify you as a primary school teacher. With further training, you could also go into educational psychology or social work.
