Early Years Level 3

About This Course

Working with children and witnessing the effect your teaching can have on their progression, can be an incredibly rewarding and motivating experience. By working in a childcare role, you can help to shape and influence the development of young minds, whilst bearing witness to their growth as they pace their way through the Early Years Foundation stage (EYFS).

Our Early Years Level 3 distance learning course can help you to take this passion for working with children, and help you make your mark in this fascinating career.

This course has been created in accordance with the Early Years Foundation Stage statutory framework (which came into effect in September 2012). With an EYFS focus in mind, every element of this course aims to provide you with the tools, the knowledge and the resources to confidently provide high quality childcare to those in your charge, whilst ensuring that you keep in full accordance with the government’s regulations.

At the same time, you can acquire all of these new skills from the comfort of your own home. No classrooms. No exams. No pressure.

Our course takes approximately 100 hours of study to complete; however you can easily mould these hours to fit around your prior commitments and study at a pace that is right for you.

From gaining a deeper understanding of child development and the importance of health, safety and welfare, to learning how to maintain positive relationships and provide an enabling environment.

Please note: if you require a qualification that enables you to be included in the level 3 staff-to-child ratios, please view our Early Years Educator NCFE Cache course.
