YABU to raise this in AIBU.

Ring your local authority Early Years Department. They may be able to give you some advice or at least point you in the right direction.

Go back to AE - revamp your qualifications - look for something YOU want to move into.

NVQ L2 pass are only worth a GCSE Grade C equiv

That's the problem with NVQ's. They don'tcount for anything unless you want to do the exact job you have been trained to do.

A level 2 will help you get onto a different level 3 course though.

From my knowledge a NVQ level 2 in childcare won't get you alot as they are stopping them so won't mean anything, Sorry

don't knock your job though - look to promotion within that field - and you can increase your skills in any job. 99% of the time its about how you write your CV and how your people management skills.
