Hi, I'm looking to retrain as either a TA or an Early years educator after taking some time out to look after the little ones. Now they're getting older I want to do something a lot more rewarding than I used to do (business analysis....yawn).
Do any of you have experience of the training involved in either? I favour the Early years educator as I enjoy working with under 5's (I did some volunteering at a reception class which was great) but are there less job opportunities in this area? I have the skills to go in at level 3 but should I go for an level 2 first?
I have approached my daughters school who can offer me voluntary work helping out with trips but they don't normally have parents helping in classes :( so I'm going to have to contact other schools to volunteer.
Any advice you can offer would be great.
Thanks
