Yes. Our diplomas are awarded through nationally recognised awarding bodies and meet sector standards for Early Years, Residential Childcare, and SEND roles, which would meet the Ofsted requirements.

Most diplomas take 6–12 months, depending on the level and the learner’s pace. Short courses range from 2 hours to 2 days.

Some diplomas require access to a workplace for observations or competency evidence. Where this is needed, we provide clear guidance. Many CPD courses do not require a workplace.

Our courses are privately funded. This ensures accessibility for learners who cannot access apprenticeships or government-funded routes. We are happy to discuss different payment methods with individuals

Learners and employers can enrol online or request a call to discuss the best qualification for their needs. We will be able to explain the pros and cons of the course to ensure you are ready and supported for your next step

It's strongly recommended that you take Functional Skills exams if you have not achieved GCSEs in English and maths, and include this during your apprenticeship, as it’s fully funded.

Opting out of functional skills is an option if you are aged 19 or over. However, it could limit your role in an early years setting, as you may not count towards staff-to-child ratios without a recognised Level 2 English qualification.

This may also impact your career progression as many employers and industry bodies require these core skills.

Managers appointed on or after 4 January 2024 must hold a Level 2 Maths qualification or achieve one within two years of starting their position. Additionally, your setting may face staffing challenges, and your employer is responsible for ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements.
