Learners will experience both classroom-based and practical learning through industry placement. The classroom-based element of the course consists of two components: the 'Core' provides students with the knowledge that underpins the industry including safeguarding, supporting education, special educational needs and reflective practice. You will also learn the theories that inform how we work with parents and legislation and policies that impact practice in the early years sector. The second element of the course is the 'occupational specialism' for which you will develop skills on placement. This could include planning for individual needs, the early years curriculum, and how to complete purposeful observations of children.
