Description

This course will give you the knowledge and skills needed to successfully work with children

The primary focus is to enable you to develop skills that are fundamental to working with children – including how they develop, how they use play and how you can structure and support children in one of the most critical stages of their lives.

The goal is to prepare you to work in the sector, as well as giving you a high-quality foundation to build upon if you want to progress to Level 2 and above.
