About the Course

This unique and comprehensive course covers all the Common Core of Skills and Knowledge but also includes the practical information you need to help you carry out your day to day responsibilities in your particular Childcare Register setting. Downloadable course handouts are included. It also has the useful information about the Ofsted registration process you need.

Each module has a multiple-choice knowledge test at the end which you need to pass in order to print off your certificate for that module. Once you have completed all 4 modules, you will be able to print off your Common Core Training for the Childcare Register certificate too, which you will need for your registration with Ofsted.

There are no assignments or requirements or written tests to pass this course as the assessment is included in the knowledge tests. Each module is likely to take around 3 hours to complete.

Childminding UK online training is available to you to either complete all at once or re-visit as many times as you need to depending on the time you have available. Unlike some online courses, there are no limits to how many times you can retake the Knowledge Test at the end of the course.
