Does your local council fund your NVQ childcare course?

I did my NVQ3 in Children's Care Learning and Developement and it was actually funded by NCMA - if you're a member it might be worth contacting them. Our local authority does it too - ring your Family Information Services to find out.

thanks cm - sorry what is the NCMA?

Our council funds the ICP (Intro to Childcare practice) but not NVQ.

NCMA = National Chilminding Association

I am a childminder and am currently doing CCLD nvq level 3 and i have been funded by train to gain if thats any help.

With the implementation of the graduate leader fund, all courses up to level 3 are now being funded by train to gain. Your local early years dept should be able to give you futher guidance.
