About the Level 3 Child Psychology Skills Certificate
This course has been developed for individuals who wish to assist in the child development process. Regardless of whether they wish to utilise their knowledge at home or in the workplace, the Level 3 Child Psychology Skills course will provide learners with the knowledge they need to succeed. What’s more is that it can be studied from the comfort of the student’s own home.
When studying this child psychology course online, students will need to complete a number separate modules. These engaging and informative units will educate learners about everything from cognitive and moral development to aggression and emotions in early childhood. Altogether the programme should take around 110 hours to complete; although we encourage students to move at their own pace.
