This course provides a broad foundation of knowledge and skills required to work with young children. It is designed to provide students with a 'licence to practice' in an early years setting.This course is written to support the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework from birth to reception class. Knowledge and skills will also cover up to 7 years 11 months (Key Stage 1). The course relies heavily on work-based learning and therefore students complete work placements where they will apply and practise theory and use their workplace experience in a range of assessment tasks.On successful completion of the BA (Hons) Early Years Development and Education course, you will be able to practice at the DfE approved Level 3 ratios in an Early Years setting. All BA (Hons) Early Years Development and Education students must undertake 600 hours of work based placement learning. Students will normally undertake 300 hours per year and are required to complete a minimum of 250 hours at Level 4 in order to progress to Level 5. In order to complete the placement, students will be required to obtain a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which will be paid for by the placement provider.Students can normally expect to undertake a study pattern of 2 days in work placement, 2 days in college and one day focused on independent study. The college supports flexible approaches to completing these hours including during evenings, weekends and holidays.The course is designed for full-time students and as such, there is a great deal of support for students who are new to study at this level.
Depending on applicant numbers for Rugby College, it may be necessary to consolidate the course for delivery at our Royal Leamington Spa College.The Awarding Body for this course is Warwickshire College.
