Caring for Children Award (Online) Level 1
Wherever you are in the world, we always need caring and qualified professionals to support our children and young people. This course is the first step in a career that will last you a lifetime.
The Introduction to Childcare course develops your confidence and personal skills as well as an awareness of what a career in childcare involves. You will complete three days in College to study child development, play and creative activities for children. You will also create a child friendly environment for visiting families and nurseries. With strong links to local employers, there will also be opportunities to volunteer with children and gain work experience during the course, which will prepare you for further study.
All of our childcare courses are delivered by experienced professionals, who draw upon their careers to provide you with the support and guidance you need. Everything we do is about creating a learning environment where you can develop your confidence and grow as a childcare professional.
This course will be fully subsidised for those who are over 19, have been resident in the UK for three years, with an exception of those who live within a devolved adult education area and those currently enrolled on an apprenticeship – please click here for more information.
