Course programme
As an apprentice you are paid as you learn. You will go through a structured training programme that teaches all aspects of caring for children and young people, working alongside experienced staff to learn the skills you need.
The training aspect of this Apprenticeship covers a range of skills around keeping children safe, plus different methods of play to promote development and learning, and ways to build positive relationships with children. Apprentices will also have the option of learning specialist skills for working with children with special needs.
You will study the following course curriculum:
- CACHE Level 2 Certificate for the Children and Young People¿s Workforce (QCF)
- CACHE Level 2 ERR- Award in Employment Responsibilities and Rights in Children and Young People's Settings (QCF)
- Level 1 English, Mathematics and ICT Functional Skills
You will also gain Functional Skills at Level 1 in Maths, English and ICT.
The age group for this cohort is 16-18 years old.
You need to be:
- employed in the Child Care sector
- have a good reference from an employer
- An excellent attitude to work and study, responsible and safe behaviour and a commitment to studying.
You will also need an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check which costs approximately £50 but it is free if you will be under 19 years old.
Assessment is carried out by observation in the workplace and you will be required to complete a portfolio of evidence.
An apprenticeship can run indefinitely, or at least until the Apprentice is judged by their employer to have grasped all the Key Skills of the job at hand. In terms of supervision by the College, you will be assessed by written assignments throughout the course of your training.
Upon achievement of this qualification, learners can progress into various job roles in the statutory, voluntary or private sectors, such as Nursery assistant, Classroom assistant or Pre-school assistant.
You could also progress onto the CACHE Level 3 Early Years Educator qualifications and other Level 3 qualifications relating to Child Care.
