This is a challenging two year course which is exciting and rigorous. Learners who successfully complete the BTEC Level 3 National Diploma in Children's Play, Learning and Development will be able to practise as Early Year's Educators (providing you also have GCSE Maths and English at C or above). Learners can be sure that they are taking a qualification that is respected by employers, the early years sector and higher education institutions. The full qualification is equivalent to three A-levels in terms of size. The course is suitable for those who are interested in a career working with children upon completion of the course, or those intending to progress to Higher Education. The course enables you to develop a substantial common core of knowledge, including child development, play and learning, health and safety, safeguarding, observations, assessment and planning, working with parents and others, reflective practice, meeting children's physical development, supporting children's speech, communication and language, supporting children's literacy and numeracy, and the Early Years Foundation Stage. In addition there are specialist units which will allow you to gain additional understanding of the needs of children, such as working with children with additional needs, working with children under 3 years, and promoting children's development outdoors. You will be required to undertake work placements in three placement settings, and complete a minimum of 750 hours' work experience with different age groups to develop the work skills required to gain employment in early years settings. The age ranges are 0-2 years (in nursery or home-based care), 2-4 years (in nursery or pre-school settings) and 5-8 years (in a classroom setting). During the placements, learners are required to complete the Practical Evidence Portfolio which allows you to provide evidence of improving skills, developing early years practice and knowledge in specific settings.
