PRACTICAL PLACEMENT
This course will include extensive ‘ hands-on’ practical placement within the children’s services industry.
Your trainers will assist you to find a suitable placement host and will also be available to offer you continued support and encouragement whilst you complete this practical component. We will also visit you at your placement site to assess your practical skills and provide you with any additional support and mentoring where required.
Practical Placement is unpaid; however, it is possible as you progress through the course and become more experienced, that you may be offered paid employment within a child care centre. When employed within a child care centre, you can contribute your regular paid hours towards your Practical Placement hours.
If you are currently employed within a child care centre, you can complete your placement hours in your place of employment (whilst getting paid!).
The contacts our students make throughout their practical placement experience often lead to permanent full-time or part-time positions.
