Child Care Courses
Working with children offers a hugely rewarding career. Every child is unique, every family different, and no two days are ever the same.
The KCC child care section offers all the new Children's and Young People's Workforce (CYPW) qualifications for those right at the beginning of their child care and education career right up to the popular Foundation Degree in Early Years for experienced professionals.
We also offer Work based learning Apprenticeships and Train to Gain qualifications for those currently employed in the sector.
Most courses are available on a full time and a part time basis. We have excellent links with our local nurseries, playgroups, creches and schools and are able to guarantee all our students appropriate local placements.
