Guest Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 i have just started level 2nvq in child care to then go on to level 3 and hopefully qualify as a nursery nurse. But whilst doing the nvq i was wondering if there are any courses that any of you would recommend thanks. claire
hali Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Hello Claire welcome to the site................ there are all the obvious courses child protection, first aid, equal ops, food hygene, behavour management, senco, birth to three matters(very important at the mo)... i dont know if these are covered in your NVQ2, there are also lots of fun courses (should be run by your local early years) like art, outdoors,festivals,literacy, numeracy( i send myself and staff on these as not only are they good fun but you get delicious lunches as well)
Rea Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Hello Clare, There are some 1 day courses, 6 of them for the area's of learning in the foundation stage. Not sure if they're free though or who runs them. I'm in Birmingham and it might be our EYPDC. Will check. In the meantime you are sure to get more good ideas here.
Susan Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Hi Claire, can't help on the course front really but would like to welcome you to the site. Good luck with your course!
Guest Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 I think Hali has told you most of the courses so would just like to say hi and welcome to the site! Linda
Beau Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Hi Clare, Good luck with the NVQ. What sort of setting are you working in? Glad to see you are so keen to extend your knowledge in the area - keep up the good work!
Steve Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Hi Claire - Welcome to the forum - good to hear from you! If you're in the London area I've just posted some courses running at the Institute of Education this autumn. They are quite expensive in comparison with the EYDCP ones you'll probably have running locally, but you might want to check the content to see. You can find them in the Calendar links on this and other pages. Regards, Steve.
Guest Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 thank you very much for replying to my question i'll look up those types of courses. thank you again claire
Sue R Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 Hello and welcome, Claire, sorry to be late!! Sue
