The Programme Content

A wide variety of topics which relate to the theory and practice of children's care learning and development are covered in college, plus there is a requirement to satisfactorily complete 800 hours of assessed work experience. These together lead to being given a Licence to Practice as a Level 3 practitioner.

I am really pleased to have gained a job already, as many people my age struggle to find work, let alone a career.
