About this course

Level 3 The Children and Young People's Workforce Course in Coventry. Classes run at Koco Community Resource Centre. You'll need a Level 2 in Children and Young People, or relevant work experience, to join. The course covers working with babies, toddlers and young children from birth to five years old, preparing you for roles in nurseries and pre-schools. The children and young people's workforce classes run on a day or block release basis over 18 months.

Who this course is for

This qualification is suitable for those who want to progress in a career working with babies, toddlers and young children, from birth to 5 years old. The Level 3 Diploma for the Children's Workforce (Early Years Educator) course is therefore perfect for early years practitioners and early years educators who work in pre-schools and nurseries.

Entry requirements

Level 2 in Children and young people preferably. However work experience in your field will be taken into consideration.

What you will learn

  • You'll develop knowledge of child development from birth to five years old.
  • You'll learn how to plan and deliver activities that support early learning.
  • You'll understand safeguarding and child protection responsibilities.
  • You'll learn how to support children's communication, language and literacy.
  • You'll develop skills in observing and assessing children's progress.
  • You'll learn how to work in partnership with parents and carers.
  • You'll understand health, safety and welfare requirements in early years settings.

How you will learn

Learning is classroom based at Koco Community Resource Centre, with day or block release attendance over 18 months. Assessment combines observations in the workplace, written assignments, and a portfolio of evidence. You'll be assessed on both your knowledge and your practical skills working with children.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Koco Community Resource Centre will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Nursery worker: supporting children's learning and daily care in a nursery
  • Early years educator: planning and delivering activities for under-fives
  • Pre-school practitioner: working with children aged two to five in pre-school
  • Room leader: taking responsibility for a room or age group in a nursery
  • Youth support worker: supporting young people in community or education settings
  • Childminder: providing registered home-based childcare
  • Teaching assistant (early years): supporting reception and foundation stage classes

What you could study next

Level 3 Early Years Educator qualifies you to be counted in statutory nursery staffing ratios, but some settings and employers look for further development. You could progress to a Level 4 Certificate in Early Years Advanced Practice for a more senior role, or a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People's Services if you're moving toward management. A Foundation Degree in Early Childhood Studies is another route if you're considering a move into teaching.
