Award in Playwork for Early Years & Child Care Workers
This course will support you to move from Early Years and Childcare to Playwork
It will help you to focus on the differences between the knowledge and skills you already have as an early years worker at level 3, and the additional knowledge and skills required to be effective and work competently, safely and effectively in a playwork setting.
This qualification will enable you to broaden your portfolio and be flexible in taking on roles across a range of work settings and age groups.
Once you have completed the award you could progress on to study the Playwork foundation degree.
