A Career as a Childcare Assessor or Adult Childcare Teacher/Trainer

***Could you teach the next generation of childcare specialists?***


A career as a childcare vocational assessor or adult teacher for childcare qualifications can be rewarding and fulfilling. As an assessor or teacher in this field, your role would involve assessing the competence and knowledge of individuals pursuing childcare qualifications, providing guidance and support to help them develop their skills, and delivering training sessions or classes to adult learners.

At NCCE we specialise in supporting learners to train as assessors and vocational teachers. We specialise in supporting our learners to gain their qualifications to teach and assess learners in childcare, early years, residential childcare, play work, and teaching assistant qualifications.

As a part of the CAVA and AET qualifications, we can provide learners for you to teach and assess. Please note, for the DET you will need access to a suitable placement. Please see the qualification details for more information.

To become a vocational assessor or adult teacher for childcare qualifications, it's important to hold relevant qualifications yourself. In the UK, the most recognised qualification for assessing vocational competence is the Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA). Additionally, you should possess a solid understanding of childcare practices and relevant qualifications in the field. It's beneficial to have experience working in the childcare sector, as this will provide you with practical knowledge and insights that can enhance your teaching or assessing abilities. Working directly with children in different childcare settings, such as nurseries, preschools, or after-school programs, will allow you to understand the challenges and demands of the profession.

If you wish to work as an adult teacher, it may be advantageous to hold a teaching qualification such as the Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET) and the Level 5 Diploma in Teaching (Further Education and Skills). Upon taking the DiT, you can the apply for the professional status: QTLS (Qualified Teacher of Learning and Skills. There is parity between QTLS and QTS. Click here to find out more about teaching in schools after achieving QTLS.

The field of childcare is constantly evolving, and it's important to stay up-to-date with the latest practices, regulations, and qualifications. Engage in continuous professional development opportunities, such as attending workshops, conferences, or online courses related to childcare and assessment. As a learner with NCCE, you will have access to our CPD webinars that specialise in an array of childcare and education topics.
