You need to complete all 13 units to achieve your qualification.
Please note, for maths and English, you need either GCSEs or Functional Skills Level 2 to practise as an Early Years Educator, and be included in ratios.
Great news – there are no physical classes to attend at a college, but you will be required to attend virtual teaching and learning sessions that we provide.
