Overview

Proper childcare is a necessity for any up and coming child. Without the right practices in place no child will verbally be able to communicate their problems. That is why this Diploma in Child Care course can be of great use.

This is a fairly extensive course as you will be going in a very in-depth analysis of childcare. Initially you will learn about some childcare basics like legal requirements, health & safety issues and equipments needed. Following that you will move onto understanding how different skills are developed in a child like gross, fine motor and cognitive. Child psychology plays a huge role in their development as you discover in the next section which elaborates on topics such as building self esteem, setting examples etc. Social behaviour training and management is also an important aspect of raising a child and from this course you will discover the roots of immaturity, punishment for disobedience, difference between commendation and encouragement and so much more.

In the final sections you will also learn about child safety both inside the house and outside, which begs the question, who wouldn’t want this course in order to raise properly nurtured and healthy children ?

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
