How distance learning works

Our QQI Level 6 Early Childcare & Education with Montessori Online course can be completed through our distance learning method with excellent tutor support.

As our learner, you will be issued with a username and password to access the course materials, so you can complete the childcare course at your own convenience.

During the Level 6 Early Childcare & Education course, you are fully supported by our full time in-house & highly qualified tutors, who are available to answer any of your questions & queries by both email and phone. Additional support is also provided through our online forums, where peer to peer discussions are facilitated.

Students must complete a work placement of 150 hours during the course.

Who should enrol?

This course is suitable for learners who have an interest in the Montessori method of teaching.  The course will cater for a variety of adult learners with a minimum Level 5 Certificate/ Ordinary Level Leaving Certificate standard of education. Many learners will previously have completed a Level 5 award in Childcare and may have experience in working in ECCE or Montessori settings, but this will not be mandatory. The participants will range from school leavers with no previous experience in the ECCE sector or of the Montessori curriculum approach, to more mature adults with relevant life or work experience.  Younger participants will tend to complete the course by the full-time method. Some mature adults will be seeking new career opportunities or be working in the home, but many will be already working in the sector and either already be in supervisory positions or aspire to such positions.
