Children & Young People

The Early year's Pathway is a three-year course aimed at individuals who have a keen interest in early years education and who have at least one year of experience working with children aged 0-8 years. This course is ideal for practitioners wanting to study a Higher Education course whilst actively working in the industry.

This course is designed for experienced teaching assistants who want to develop their professional knowledge and understanding through a combination of theoretical and practical study.

Whichever pathway you choose, this programme will develop you as a confident, knowledgeable and effective practitioner. your academic study will be reflected in your practical work, and your working environment will be used for projects, activities and research. With an emphasis on employability and transferred skills, everything that you learn in college will be relevant to your everyday practice, and you will need to identify a work-based mentor who can support and advise you.
