You will need to have access to a suitable placement within the early years, covering children from birth to five. You will need support from a willing supervisor (for witness statements and signing of practical work).
You will need to record 250 hours of placement activity within your placement log. You may complete the work with any age group in the Early Years. The placement tasks may be completed over the duration of the course, or you may take “block weeks”. Therefore, it is important to note that you may begin the course without a placement, but you must complete the required placement tasks before you will be awarded your certification.
If you are working in a school setting, you may find our qualification 'Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools' more appropriate for your needs.
