Early Years Practitioner Level 2
This qualification will equip you with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills related to the care and education of babies and young children aged from birth to seven years, specifically in the early years (0-5 years). The course content is aligned with the Department for Education’s (DfE) criteria for ‘Level 2 Early Years Practitioners in the Workforce’.
Throughout the course, you will be taught about health and safety, safeguarding, equality, and diversity, as well as the roles and responsibilities of practitioners in early years. You will also learn how to provide quality care and education for children in this age group. In addition, you will be required to complete a minimum of 250 placement hours that provide ample opportunities for skills application with babies and young children to meet the assessment criteria for the qualification.
Upon completion, you can work in various supervised roles, such as a nursery practitioner or pre-school practitioner. The qualification also allows you to progress onto the Level 3 Early Years Educator qualifications and other relevant Level 3 qualifications.
The course typically takes one academic year to complete and there will be one day per week study in class. There could be conditional funding options available to you, contact [email protected] to find out more.
