OUR RANGE OF CHILDCARE COURSES
We offer a huge range of childcare courses and qualifications all designed to be studied online or with a study pack from home. Leading a busy life shouldn’t mean you miss out on the opportunity to learn, develop your career, and achieve your goals. Whether you’re juggling a job, looking after a family, or have other life commitments, with our range of distance learning courses you can study at your own pace, in your own time. Including courses in early years, child psychology, and teaching, here you’ll find out everything you need to know.
CACHE courses
The majority of the courses we offer within the childcare and education sector are CACHE qualifications.
Who are CACHE?
The Council for Awards in Care, Health and Education (CACHE) are the UK’s leading provider of vocational qualifications for those working within care and education. CACHE qualifications are recognised across the education and care industries and they are amongst the most well-known and respected
qualifications.
Our range of CACHE vocational qualifications are suitable for individuals involved in early years, education, childcare, and health and social care. All courses lead to a nationally recognised Ofqual regulated qualification and are accredited on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). CACHE work closely with employers and learners to ensure that students have a progression route whether it’s into further study, a career, or university.
These qualifications have helped millions of people obtain the skills and knowledge they need to meet the professional standards required in the care, education, and health industries.
Types of CACHE qualifications
Certain CACHE qualifications are available as either an award, certificate, or diploma. These are known as nested qualifications. Nested qualifications allow learners to top up their previous studies in a subject to achieve the next qualification in the group. This allows learners to progress from the award to the certificate and then the diploma.
CACHE Alumni Membership
Once you have enrolled on your CACHE course, you will have access to the CACHE Alumni Membership for two years. CACHE Alumni is a professional membership network for those who work in the care, health and education industries, providing valuable resources and advice for your studies when working towards/with a CACHE qualification.
TQUK courses
Training Qualifications UK (TQUK) are another awarding body who endorses a number of our childcare and education-related courses. TQUK are an Ofqual regulated awarding body. They cover courses in first aid, health and safety, food safety, education and training.
TQUK courses are not official qualifications, but they are recognised by industry employers. Their courses are an ideal way to boost your knowledge in a specific subject and progress with your professional development. At the end of your TQUK course you will receive a certificate of achievement to demonstrate that you have completed a course which has provided you with knowledge relevant to your career.
