Are you passionate about the quality of education and care children receive? Do you aspire to have a positive impact on the quality of provision?

The Foundation Degree in Early Years is a new course designed to allow you to work while studying. It enables you to develop your professional knowledge, skills and attributes to enhance your career options in the early years sector.

The Foundation Degree in Early Years Part-Time course has two pathway options:

FdA Early Years (0-8yrs) pathway option is for students joining who have already met the requirements for EYE (Level 3 full and relevant) and wish to extend their knowledge and professional practice.

FdA Early Years (0-8yrs) (Professional Practice) pathway option meets the requirements for Early Years Educator (EYE approved qualification) (including over 350 hours of practice in an Ofsted registered setting which can be paid employment). This enables students to meet the “full and relevant” approved qualification requirement for practice in an early years setting.
