Early Years, Childcare, Education and Play
Do you want to start a rewarding career in childcare?
Childcare is a fun, flexible and ultimately satisfying career path for any person to undertake. The childcare sector has grown rapidly over the past couple of years and with that demand for childcare, courses have increased.
WAES is meeting that demand by offering a full range of courses specifically designed to help you pursue a career in childcare. The courses start at entry level to NVQ Level 3, so if you've ever wondered whether you could make the switch and change to a career in childcare, you might be surprised at just how easy it could be.
Entry requirements:
- Entry to all childcare courses is by written application and interview.
- If you are a speaker of English as an additional language, you will need ESOL intermediate level to join the courses.
- In order to work with children, a Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) check is essential. We will support you in attaining this police check; however costs are not covered by WAES.
- Some learners may need to increase their written English to GCSE grade C, and our entry level 1 and 2 courses will offer literacy, numeracy and IT qualifications.
