Celebrating Children Accredited Training
The Christian Childcare Forum are working towards achieving accreditation for the Celebrating Children course here in the UK. The course has been mapped to the occupational standards and the Children’s Workforce Development Council’s requirements for professional validation at level 2 or 3. We need to test the needs of the field, demonstrate the potential of the course and identify key partners to help make it a reality.
We want to hear from you if you are a potential learner, manager, trainer, assessor and/or partner.
What qualifying level do you want? How many learners do you know of who would be interested? Could you offer workplace assessment if we set up an NVQ process? Are you a trainer interested in co-tutoring? Are you a training provider interested in joining our partnership?
