Course
Content
The
Diploma in Child Care and Education (NNEB) is an internationally
recognised qualification designed to train individuals who wish to work
with young children. All aspects of child development are covered in the
course, including emotional, social, physical and intellectual skills.
Students also carry out practical tasks in a variety of different
settings, such as day nurseries, schools and family placements.
All
students undertake a period of work placement where they can develop and
put into action the principles of good practice previously learnt in the
classroom.
Method
of Assessment
Students
are continuously assessed throughout the course by means of assignments,
work-based assessments and external examinations at the end of the two
years.
Entry
Requirements
Applicants
should normally possess 4 appropriate GCSEs (with at least 2 passes at
grade ‘C’ or above), an appropriate Intermediate GNVQ, or equivalent
qualification. Experience of
working with children would be an advantage and applicants will also need
to provide satisfactory references. Applications from mature students are
particularly welcomed.
Opportunities
Once
qualified, students find they are able to work with children in a variety
of different environments. In the private sector there are opportunities
in nannying, private day care nurseries and as children’s reps in
overseas resorts. Students who wish to work in education can work in
infant schools and in mainstream education with children who have special
needs. In hospitals there are openings for play specialists and in the
social services there is the opportunity to work in day nurseries and
family centres. |
