Caring for Children CACHE Foundation Award (ESOL) Level 1

Course Code:
CR1MFAC7

What will I learn?
This course is suitable if you wish to work with children but lack the necessary literacy skills if English is not your first language. The course covers the development and care of children, providing play activities and health and safety. Six hours of English a week enable you to develop literacy skills. The Foundation Award does not qualify you to work with children in a school, nursery or pre-school, as you would need to progress to a Level 2 qualification.

How will I be taught?
You have a mixture of group activities, discussions, some lectures and practical activities. You spend a minimum of 90 hours in a work experience placement

How will I be assessed?
You are assessed through 5 written assignments and a multiple choice exam. You complete a personal action plan and a portfolio showing achievements over the year. English has a test.

What could I do next?
If you gain an overall Merit/Distinction and Literacy Level 1, you can apply for a Level 2 childcare course.
