Level 3 CACHE Diploma

[Becca0512]

Hi all,

I studied for and got my level 3 CACHE diploma in early years about 20 years ago. I never went into that line of work but am now considering a career change and am wondering if it would still be valid or if I would need to start again?

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Your qualification would still be valid, but lots of the legislation and content would be out of date. You also need to bear in mind that you never worked in the sector after qualifying so you unfortunately don't have any relevant or recent work/voluntary experience.

It would definitely be worth looking at retraining and gaining some experience as the early years sector is always in need of staff, even more so with the increase in funded hours availability.
