Course summary

This carefully designed course has been developed to provide progression for those who have completed a Level 5 qualification in Early Years Care and/or Education. Children’s experiences during their early years create the foundations of who they become. As they mature into young people, their development is shaped by their environment, education and relationships. This course equips you for a career where you can have a positive impact on children and young people (0-19) at the most important stages of their lives. Working with children and young people is also about supporting them through the multitude of transitions they make towards adulthood. Studying at Level 6 on this course allows you to specialise in those areas that capture your own professional interests, including an in-depth independent study. Insights gained through these in-depth studies will help you take on wider responsibilities in your field of practice. The course is delivered over 30 weeks as a day release over one afternoon and evening per week and an alternate evening every other week, requiring minimal release from work and there is a great deal of support for students who are new to study at this level. Lectures are three hours in duration and delivered by highly qualified staff who have excellent academic and practical backgrounds and experience in children’s and young people’s services.
