Brief Outline

This is a two year course with a range of practical placements and supportive theory. The course offers a range of additional learning opportunities. The placements will be in care and education settings for children from birth to nineteen years.

Methods of Teaching

You will be expected to participate in professional practice in a variety of settings. The college will work closely with workplace supervisors and will assess your level of competence through observation and written assessment. You will experience a range of teaching and learning styles which encourage you to become an independent learner.
