This Graduate Diploma in Childhood Practice is a part-time course for individuals who already hold a relevant practitioner qualification in addition to a relevant undergraduate degree, and are working - or aspire to work - as lead practitioners. Our course is professionally recognised by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC). This programme is ideally suited for employed SSSC registered practitioners who wish to become registered as lead practitioners/managers. The course is delivered in evenings and is designed to meet the Standard for Childhood Practice Revised 2015 through study of learning within childhood, leadership and management, reflective practice and research.

For entry to the Graduate Diploma, a relevant undergraduate degree in a related area—such as Childhood Studies, GA Early Learning & Childcare, Psychology, Sociology, or a similar field—is also required. Additionally, applicants must be employed as a practitioner throughout their studies, normally working a minimum of 16 hours per week, with at least two years of experience and current practitioner registration with the SSSC. A signed statement of support from the applicants workplace is required as part of the admission process.
