Course Description
It is possible to study this course at the SA1 campus in Swansea or at our campus in Carmarthen, depending on which location the student prefers.
Early Years Education and Care: Early Years Practitioner Status (2 years) is designed for those already working in the education and childcare sector, and allows them to study flexibly from scope of their work commitments. This is an innovative, full-time degree program that has been compressed into two years and is included in Social Care Wales' list of required qualifications to work within the early years and childcare sector in Wales. Students who successfully complete this program will be awarded a degree as well as a license to practice within a range of early years organisations. Lectures will be delivered in the evening and on occasional Saturdays to enable students to continue working while they complete their degree. Linked to the practical aspect of the programme, students will develop their understanding of the practice and theory of early years education and care which will give them a full and balanced understanding of the subject. The program was developed to provide opportunities for learning about all aspects of the education and care of young children. The program provides opportunities to connect practical activities and experiences in the working environment with theories related to education and childcare. The learning will take place through group discussions, workshops, study visits as well as lectures in order to develop knowledge and understanding of a range of relevant subjects. There is an emphasis on practical learning in order to support understanding of the links between theory and practice within the early years. There are also optional residential visits to other areas of the UK and abroad.
