I am glad I took this course and passed the exam with merit! The course content was very interesting, helpful, and very educational. It definitely makes me understand children better knowing what works, how they think and process things.

Course Synopsis
This Quality Assured Level 3 Diploma course is designed to present students with a comprehensive basic knowledge of child development from pre-conception to seven years of age. The course deals with cognitive processes such as language and speech development, social skills, and behaviour. The psycho-social issues, together with other external influences on development are included in order to enhance understanding of the factors affecting behaviour.
The developmental stages of anatomy and physiology for each body system are presented as chronological processes to follow this timeline, thus facilitating understanding of the changes that occur during the physical and mental development of children. In addition, learning through play and interactive educational concepts are examined
This course is aimed at those with a keen interest in the topic, and also for anyone wishing to work with children on a more formal basis.
The course comprises of a series of tutor marked assignment, a thesis and final online examination.
