Guest Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 where can i find the details and apply for this course?
belle06 Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Hi welcome to the forum have you been in touch with your local college. If they do not offer the course it may be worth looking on the cache website for level 4 qualifications. I have inserted the I have inserted the link for you Cache Level 4 childcare
HappyMaz Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Welcome to the Forum! As belle06 says, the best place is to start with your local colleges - they're sure to have the dates, venues etc! Maz
Guest Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 try your local council training provider. within my area we send a expression of interest from to the early years training book, they pay the costs so staff pay nothing and the setting recieves a thousand ponuds from the transformation fund.which you also need to aply for. hope this helps ashley x
Guest Wolfie Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 A warm welcome to the forum from me too! Good luck with applying for the course!
Guest Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 I am still not sure whether i would be able to do the course as i am 19 and working as a teaching assistant; even though I have done my level 3. I haven't had much work experience. Would I be better getting some experience in a nursery nurse position first. Just I don't want to stop the learning and get out of doing assignments and written work.
Guest Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Hi there Im doing this course at the moment and would say that it is aimed more at people in a supervisory or deputy level. Im finding it pretty tough going and I work as a deputy in a pre school. Do you have a development worker that you can speak to to get some advice??? Good Luck
Lucy P Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 I echo what bluestar has said, it is pretty hard going and is definately aimed at senior level. I am having great trouble getting my two deputies on this course as the training provider feels they do not undertake enough managerial roles ( which is ridiculous, by the way, as they cover me frequently and are more than capable of running the nursery unsupervised!)
Guest Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Thank you. It's because i was accepted on to the foundation degree but found it tough. So i think i will wait a few years, and maybe try a job in a private nursery. Just needed some one who knew what they were talking about to advise me Hannah
