This qualification provides an opportunity to study a range of topics from three main areas: childcare and education, babysitting and parenting responsibilities. It contains all the units included in the Level 2 Award in Babysitting and the Level 2 Award in Preparation for the Responsibilities of Parenting. Additionally there are units covering learning, development and play. This qualification will support you in preparing for your 'next steps' either in training or moving towards work.

If attending a session in person is not possible for you, please ring us on 0330 332 7997 to a phone call. Our friendly Customer Engagement team and a dedicated course tutor will be there to support you in completing all the necessary sign-up paperwork and assessments as required. We will also tell you more about the course, what to expect from your time with us and arrange a start date (subject to availability).
