Hide-Course Aims:
A Level 6 qualification is becoming a requirement when applying for a job within the ECCE sector. The course enables the learner to acquire the skills, knowledge and competence that are required to work in a supervisory capacity in an ECCE setting. The modules are chosen so learners are well equipped to implement Aistear, Siolta and the much discussed extra pre- school year. Work Experience is 1 day a week for the duration of the course. There is also a 2 week block in the second half of the course.
