Childcare Level 3 qualifications are among these courses including Early Years Educator courses (EYE), Diploma in Montessori Pedagogy – Birth to Seven (EYE), and the Diploma in Playwork (NVQ).
Backed by £95 million from the National Skills Fund, the new courses will be available from April to all adults without a full Level 3 (A-level equivalent) qualification.
