Is it for me?
The Cache Level 3 Childrens Care, Learning and Development (CCLD) is a 2-year, part time course, leading to a qualification as a child care worker. You will spend three hours each week in college studying all aspects of child care, education and development and two days in a practical training placement, or use your own employer, if already employed within early years.
A NVQ level 3 qualification is an ideal choice for those already employed within early years who wish to further develop their skills, and also an ideal route for those who meet the entry requirements for level 3 who wish to develop a career working with young children.
