It is also a requirement to complete 20 hours of practical work placement per module under the supervision of the employer. Students will be accessed from work-based assignments, projects, skill demonstrations and learner recorders. If you require any help or assistance with your course, you can contact your tutor through email & scheduled phone calls.

However, for work placement the age group must be six or under. Examples of settings include – creches, primary school, ECCE setting, Breakfast club, after school, etc. They will be qualified to work with older children and in secondary school setting once they complete the course.
