Lynne features as an Early Years Career ‘real story’ here: https://earlyyearscareers.campaign.gov.uk/real-stories/lynne-childminder/
The FdA Early Years (0-8 years), Flexible and Distributed Learning pathway is suitable for practitioners who already hold a Level 3 and are looking to develop their leadership skills and/or progress in their careers. This is a great stepping stone to gaining a full degree as it will enable practitioners to study a Top up degree afterwards. This could lead onto teacher training or postgraduate studies in social work, education and child and mental health, to name a few.
The Flexible and Distributed Learning pathway offers practitioners the flexibility to study alongside their employment in a setting. The online study is organised by the student to fit in with their day-to-day responsibilities and the face to face teaching takes place on a Saturday. Evening appointments for tutorials and module support are offered to cater for our employed students too.
Even if you’re a career changer and don’t hold a childcare qualification, there are options for study towards the Professional Practice route. Get in touch if you have questions and contact Course Leader, Sam: s.sutton-tsang@worc.ac.uk
