Deputy looking for more qualifications

[HampshireMummyof2]

Not sure if this is the right place to put this but I will ask anyway. I am a deputy in a day nursery and looking to gain a higher qualification, Has anyone done a level 5 qualification? Which company did you use and do you rate it? Did you get funding? Been looking around and so many company's and not sure which one to go for. Thanks for your help.

Hi - I have done my city and guilds level 5 through a local college. It is useful, going into much more depth with a lot of areas such as safeguarding, health and safety and team management. It is also a lot of work when working too, I managed to get hours over four days so I had a day off each week to concentrate on it. Check local colleges and see what they may offer. I did pay for it myself, not sure if there are grants currently available but did get a pay rise for doing it. Good luck!
