What the college says

Childcare Intermediate Apprenticeships allow individuals to work for an employer, learn on the job, build knowledge and skills to gain a level 2 qualification, whilst earning money at the same time. Level 2 will suit you if you work, or are about to work, in a supporting role as a nursery assistant, Crèche worker or special educational needs assistant. You want to work with children, but you’ll generally work under supervision. These bespoke qualifications will provide the fundamental skills needed to enter or sustain employment in this area, instilling learners with the confidence and drive to achieve continued personal and professional progression. Providing important recognition, these qualifications encourage learners to unleash their talents, through further vocational training or in their field of work, the next natural progression would be the Early Years Practitioner (EYE) Diploma at Level 3. However, if learners do not already hold GCSE Grade A-C in Maths and English then they will need to do these before progressing onto the level 3 Diploma.

What you need to get on

Employment within a Childcare setting working 16-30 hours per week. No GCSE's are needed as Functional Skills will be worked on during the course, however if a learner wishes to progress to a level 3 then they will require GCSE's Maths and English before beginning.

How you are assessed

Learning a trade with tools and equipment, often in a college workshop or salon.

What this level means

The GCSE-equivalent step, and the usual route into Level 3.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
