WJEC Level 2 Children's Care, Play, Learning and Development: Core

Apprenticeships

Course Description

Part of an apprenticeship focusing on the level 2 core knowledge only (this is not a full qualification - the practice element is needed to be a full qualification).

This course is ideal for those wishing to gain employment within the child care sector. Given that the course is theory-based, it gives individuals the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge prior to entering into the childcare arena.

The course is designed for individual guided learning and could be fitted around those already in employment in a different sector but wanting to change careers.

Entry Criteria

Successful interview and initial assessment.

Delivery

Five core units to be completed which cover elements such as safeguarding and the theories of child development

Delivery for this course is remote although learners can go to any of our sites to meet up with an assessor if needed.

Assessment

To achieve this qualification, learners must undertake the five core units and also complete a multiple choice exam (learners MUST come into one of the college campuses to sit the exam).

Progression

Progress for learners can be done by gaining voluntary or paid employment in a child care setting and undertaking the practical element of the qualification (thus gain the full qualification), progress can also be made to a level 3 child care qualification.
