Early Years Initial Teacher Training (Assessment Only) - Non-NTU Award

The assessment takes place in the setting where you are currently employed. Full support by your employer is essential to ensure the assessments can take place.

You will gather a portfolio of evidence to demonstrate how you implement each of the Teachers' Standards effectively across the whole age range of 0 - 5 years. You will be expected to demonstrate you have gained experience across a minimum of two early years settings, including Key Stage 1.

The assessment will include:

• a completed application form, including a personal statement
• a reference from your current employing setting
• observation and assessment of your practice in your setting
• Disclosure and Barring Service and Prohibition Order checks.

The assessment will be completed within a maximum period of 12 weeks. If a longer period is required, then an alternative programme can be advised.

This course does not currently offer placements. Applicants must have access to an appropriate Early Years setting prior to applying where they can be assessed and the full support of their employer.

Applicants will need to ensure they can meet the Teachers' Standards (Early Years) for experience in two settings including 10 days in Key Stage 1.
