NVQ level 3 Anyone here know about this a NVQ level 3 Children and young peoples work certificate

[marypoppin]

Please help am starting college in September want to do this NVQ level 3 as I understand the goverment want 50% of the settings to have staff with this qualification.

Would I be better working for a preswchool or a childminder?,as I need to be assessed and also would probably have to do it for free,unless I send an email to all preschools asking for two paid days whilst I fund myself any ideas please.

Do you mean the new certificate and diploma for the children and young people's workforce?

I can't find an NVQ by that name so if it existed it's lost its accreditation and you shouldn't be able to start it with a reputable college in December. Can you find a link to the course you mean?

If you mean the diploma (which is equivalent to an NVQ3) you can do it as a CM or whilst working with one or in a preschool or as a nanny...it's designed for everyone working with children and there's not much difference between what a CM is obliged to do and what a preschool is obliged to do. As a nanny it would be harder but several are doing it nonetheless.

September not December....

Thanks Snapfrakkleandpop its the one you mentioned the new certificate the diploma for the children and young peoples workforce,thanks you so much.

You could also volunteer to help out in reception at a school if you can't find what you want.
