hello, im just about to commence year 3 of BA(Hons) Early childhood and education studies, when i first embarked on the course (millions of years ago!) i thought i wanted to teach, only now im not so sure. I love being in the classroom, and love being with the children. Im managing out of school provision at the moment which im really enjoying. I really want to know what other prospects there are, perhaps without doing a post grad year. Everyone keeps telling me to do the PGCE because noone really knows what else to suggest, and this seems to be the best option salary wise (but it seems daft to do something like that jsut for morre money. However, on saying that i ha…

Hi I'm new to the forum but I've already found it really interesting and informative. I was wondering if any other members are studying the cache preschool diploma. I'm going into my last term in September and it would be great to chat with others who are doing the same course or who have already done it. I'm not sure where I want to go next and any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated. Thanx

Management Qualification?
by Guest- 5 replies
- 1.9k views
Hi everyone I manage a 96 place day nursery and am looking for a distance learning childcare management qualification level 4 or 5. At the moment I hold a level 3 Diploma. With 22 years experience not counting for much anymore and the dreaded looming of the 'only a degree will do' ethos, I need to find a way to start towards a higher qualification level or find another profession. The Foundation degree and alike are no good for me at the present time as I now manage full-time, am no longer working hands on in the rooms, family commitments that don't allow for it, working 47 hours a week and the fact that I cannot afford to take time off or go part-time and pay my m…

Hi I sat my first aid course back in 2006, however I never recived my certficate for it and have been chasing it ever since to no avail. Now it looks like I need to resit the course to gain the qualification. I have been in contact with a provider in my local area regarding a first aid course. I have heard of them before although I always did the course at college. They have come back at £40 plus VAT. I have been looking at other providers who have quoted alot more around the £85 mark. I am now wondering what to do, the course itself is next month for 2 days full 12 course, so would meet the required standard. In the place there are 2 validated c…
