Childcare
Working towards Practitioner or Early Years Educator status, you will develop the skills you need to work with children and young people.
You'll gain practical experience in nurseries and playgroups, learning how to look after children safely and helping them to develop their learning and social skills through play.
With guidance from professionals and guest speakers, you will work on developing yourself and be given the opportunity to take part in charity and community projects.
Whether you want to become a teacher, a childminder, or work in social care, a childcare course can put you on the right path.
