NCFE CACHE Level 3 Diploma for the Early Years Workforce ( Early Years Educator) )

This course prepares you to enter the early years as a level 3 practitioner in a nursery, preschool or infant school. It could also be used to progress onto a Foundation Degree at Truro and Penwith College. You will need to be working or find your own placement within an early years setting and complete at least 2 days a week within that setting. You will need to undertake an enhanced DBS check.

You will build up a portfolio of evidence of your knowledge and skills towards a range of units and be assessed in the workplace. You will also complete a longitudinal study. You will need to commit time to complete work at home. Additional costs include the recommended text book and DBS check if carried out by the college.
