Overview
If you’re looking for a richly rewarding career that lets you watch children grow and develop before your eyes, then our online NCFE CACHE accredited Level 3 Award in Childcare and Education will get you started on your journey. You’ll also learn about the frameworks that can be applied to children’s development, how to provide a safe environment for them to learn and play, how to support emergent literacy, and much more. Even better, you’ll be able to study in your own time, at your own pace. On this knowledge-based course, you’ll study child development from birth to the age of seven years, and learn how to meet the physical and emotional needs of young children.
This course is ideal for learners who aren’t ready or able to commit to a childcare course which includes practical experience, but who would still like an introduction or a refresher in early years education. It’s also perfect for anyone seeking to achieve a solid foundation of knowledge before pursuing the NCFE CACHE Level 3 Diploma for the Early Years Workforce, which will grant practitioner status as an early years educator.
