About The Level 5 EYLP Course
- How Do I Achieve The Qualification?
- Do I Need To Attend Classes?
- How Long Will It Take To Complete The Course?
- How Will I Be Assessed?
The course is made up of 16 mandatory 'occupational duties' - all of which much be achieved to pass this course.
You will find details of the duties below.
During the course, you will learn how to develop high quality childcare environments that are continuously evaluated.
You will lead on the operational aspects of your setting and will be responsible for leading other practitioners on aspects and environments such as:
- Communication and Language,
- Planning and Assessment,
- Forest School,
- Physical Activity
- and Nutrition.
Great news - there are no classes to attend at a college, but you will be required to attend master classes using the virtual classroom access we provide, plus face-to-face teaching and learning sessions, where applicable.
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 you will have discovered in any previous apprenticeships and as with anything worthwhile, this course will require you to dedicate some of your own time to it.
The average duration of the course will be 25 months in total, if you are working full time, but afterwards you will have the fantastic feeling of being a professionally recognised Level 5 Early Years Lead Practitioner and an accomplished senior member of the team.
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:
Main part of the course – 20 months.
The occupational duties are based around your skills, knowledge and behaviours which you develop throughout your apprenticeship. Complete Level 5 Early Years Lead Practitioner, English and maths Functional Skills (Level 2).
Part 2 is in 2 sections - duration 5 months.
1. Preparation for your End Point Assessment - this is called Gateway. You will be required to upload evidence of your work from your online portfolio.
2. End Point Assessment (EPA) consisting of 3 assessments - an observation with questions; a professional discussion underpinned by a portfolio of evidence; and a case study with report and presentation and questioning.
As with any previous apprenticeships, you will be assessed through a mixture of 'at home' and 'at work' tasks which you must provide evidence for on your online portfolio.
Before this happens, your tutor will talk to you to find out what learning style suits you best and tailor your assessments around it.
At home:
• Writing from personal experience
• Assignments asking you to describe/explain something
• Reflections on how you dealt with past events
At work:
- Functional Skills sessions and exams (if applicable) will need to be completed, in addition to your main knowledge, skills and behaviours virtual sessions.
- Observations of your work practice by your tutor
- Professional discussions with your tutor (these can also be done at home over the phone)
- In addition there will be work based tasks to complete following on from live sessions
As part of your Level 5 Early Years Lead Practitioner course, you’ll benefit from phone and email support from your Parenta tutor if there’s anything at all that you need help with.
