Skill Overview

This apprenticeship programme for the Early Years Educator will be delivered through one-on-one learning and online study. Throughout the programme, the individual’s skills development is central to all practice and therefore the programme focuses on industry skills that can be applied to practice and in future roles.

Planned observations will take place regularly throughout the programme, with clear objectives set so that the learner’s skill development matches holistic best practice. These observations
will be supported with evidence needed for the end point assessment (EPA).

Off-the-job learning and independent study, including modules on OneFile, provides opportunities to work in different age ranges to develop all round skills that can be applied to future opportunities. Links with the wider environment or community are encouraged – for example, making links and building relationships with feeder schools will benefit the learner through strengthened professional relationships.

This programme would be ideal for those looking to pursue a career
in or settings similar to private day nurseries, pre-schools, reception classes, childminding services and children’s centres where delivering the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
