Core component: the knowledge and underpinning concepts, theories and principles as well as core skills for the education and early years sector.
Occupational specialisms:
Students will only complete one occupational specialism.
The occupational specialisms provide students with knowledge and skills required to enter employment or further study in the specific occupational area.
This qualification is designed for post-16 students.
There are no specific prior skills/knowledge a student must have for this qualification. However, students may find it helpful if they have already studied at level 2.
