For each unit, you will need to demonstrate the knowledge, understanding and practical skills.
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.
You will have regular contact with your Parenta tutor either remotely or face to face to observe you at work and check you’re fulfilling the course requirements.
Your tutor will set you course work to complete on OneFile our e-learning platform and will agree submission timings with you.
It is important that you meet your submission deadlines to ensure you complete your qualification on time.
As with anything worthwhile, this course requires you to dedicate some of your time to it. This will be up to 18 months in total if you are working full-time - and longer if you are working part-time.

You will be assigned your own tutor to support you throughout your qualification, however you may be required to do some independent learning.
The course is made up of 2 parts, as follows:
