Level 3 award in Childcare and Education
<p>Qualifications introduction and purpose<br />
The Level 3 Award in Childcare and Education prepares learners to progress to the Technical Level 3<br />
Certificate in Childcare and Education and then on to the Technical Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and<br />
Education (Early Years Educator) which enables them to gain the knowledge and experience which will<br />
allow them to work with children from birth to 5 years.<br />
The Technical Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Education (Early Years Educator) enables learners to<br />
enter the workforce as Early Years Educators or access Higher Education.<br />
We have built the Diploma to meet the full and relevant criteria for Early Years Educators required by the<br />
National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL). We have also incorporated the design criteria for<br />
the 16–19 Performance Tables.<br />
As the leading Awarding Organisation in the care sector we have surpassed the minimum requirements<br />
set out in the full and relevant criteria to develop a qualification which reflects the priorities of<br />
practitioners and employers to meet the needs of young children.Learners Handbook<br />
