CACHE Level 3 Diploma for the Early Years Workforce (Early Years Educator) QCF Course The new CACHE Level 3 Diploma for the Early Years Workforce (Early Years Educator) qualification (QRN: 601/2629/2) has been approved by the National College of Teaching & Leadership. It has been introduced to entirely replace the current Level 3 Diploma for the Children & Young People’s Workforce (QCF) from September 2014. This qualification sets the standards that all early years practitioners must meet to ensure that they are able to support & promote children’s early education & that children develop correctly taking care to see that they are kept safe & healthy. The course promotes teaching & learning to make sure that children have the skills they need to start school with a broad range of knowledge. The CACHE Level 3 Diploma for the Early Years Workforce (Early Years Educator) training course & subsequent qualification will enable you to enjoy a childcare work in partnership with colleagues, parents/carers or other professionals. What is an Early Years Practitioner (EYP)? From September 2014 anybody who wishes to work as a fully qualified Early Years Practitioner will be required to complete this Early Years Educator course. It will be the only level 3 vocational qualification that will allow you to fully engage in childcare. Early Years Practitioners will work in various settings to care for babies & children aged from birth to five years old & have an understanding of children aged 5 – 7 years. It will be the role of the Early Years Educator to help the children learn, develop & prepare for school. The EYP may support Early Years teachers or indeed may deliver the childcare & teaching themselves. Am I required to do a placement? In order to achieve your CACHE Level 3 Diploma for the Early Years Workforce (Early Years Educator) qualification you will be required to do a minimum of 350 hours in a suitable placement. In order to get the most out of your placement, we strongly advise that placements should be done in at least 2 different settings to cover the following age ranges: Age range                                                                                                    Hours 0 – 1 year 11 months (working with babies)                                         25 2 – 2 years 11 months (working with toddlers)                                    133 3 – 5 years (working with pre-school children)                                    192 If you have a placement in a setting which provides care & education for children & means that you can get the required experience across these three age ranges then you do not need to do a placement outside of this one setting. What about the theory aspect of the training? Our course is designed to be as flexible as possible & means that you can fit it in with your existing commitments. Unlike a traditional college (where you are required to attend lessons at set times) you will be able to study the theory element in your own time & in the privacy of your own home either online or via printed material through the post. Also your tutor will come out to visit you 3 times in your work setting. This will give you the opportunity to work with your tutor face to face which is a real benefit for anybody considering studying this home study course.
