Level 2 Transition to Childcare

This course is for adult students looking for an introduction into the early years & childcare industry. You'll receive regular reviews from your tutor, as well as help improving your digital skills. You'll also have the opportunity to visit relevant childcare businesses and employers.

Units may include:

  • communicating with children and young people
  • growth and development of young children
  • craft activities with children and young people
  • healthy eating for children
  • intellectual and language development of children
  • job opportunities in children’s and young people’s settings.

There are no formal requirements for this course. However, we would expect students to have or be working towards a Level 1 English qualification.

You will be required to attend classes 2.5 days a week, term time only.

This qualification is portfolio based and there are no formal exams. Lessons are tutor led with assessments within the lesson. All students are taught in a supportive and inclusive environment.

School Leavers under the age of 19 do not have to pay fees on any full time courses, though may have to pay for their second year if turning 19 during their studies. If you’re aged 19 or over you might qualify for an Advanced Learner Loan. It’s easy to apply for and you won’t have to pay anything back until you’re earning over £25,000. If you are studying a part-time course and you receive one of the following benefits, or you depend financially on someone who does, you may be entitled to have your tuition fees waived: Job Seekers Allowance, Income Support. You will, however, have to pay any awarding body/assessment fees (unless you are on a first full level 2 course). * If you are in receipt of Working Tax Credit or receive other allowances, you may be eligible to claim concessionary rates. If you are entitled to a fee concession you will be asked to provide proof of your entitlement. It is essential that you inform us if your entitlement changes at any time during your course.

You could go on to study a Level 2 NCFE Certificate in Working with Children in Early Years & Primary Setting.
