Young people need a blend of technical and academic skills. Higher education providers and employers look for these skills. This BTEC offers a modern, work-related qualification, which is designed to support a pathway into higher education or employment. You will build high-level skills such as teamwork and develop your independent research and study skills. The Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Children’s Play, Learning, and Development gives an introduction to the study of the sector. It is intended as an Applied General qualification and is equivalent in size to one A Level. It supports access to a range of higher education courses, possibly but not exclusively in the early years sector. How will I be taught? You complete 50 hours of work experience in the sector. Besides work experience, you will study three mandatory units and one optional unit.
A minimum of 5 GCSE passes at a minimum of Grade 4 (Grade C for Legacy qualifications).
Assessment of this course is via an external exam an externally assessed piece of course work and two pieces of course work that are assessed internally. You will need to achieve a pass, at least, in all the mandatory units. Over the two-year course, you will complete a work placement with children from birth to seven years 11 months. The mandatory units cover the following topics, children’s development, development of children’s communication, literacy and numeracy skills, and play and learning. The optional units, from which only one will be studied, are keeping children safe, children’s physical development care and health needs, and working with parents and others in the early years or the early year's foundation stage.
