Yes justed finished at Easter.
We had a few teething problems but hoping not to wait to long for the results. Never heard back in between each module.
Who is doing your course?

I'm unfortunate enough to have started this last year with Zodiac, and the way they get their funding (from the government) is by including level 2 english and maths. I gave this up as a bad job last year (even though I was 90% of the way through) - I hate maths, and have only recently with the encouragement of a lovely surestart worker got back on track with it - guessed all the maths questions and luckily passed and on with the most tedious waste of time maths assignment on the planet. I have paid my daughter to do it and if I get a separate certificate for the maths and english part they are going in the bin as they mean nothing.
However bitter and twisted I feel about the key skills, I have really enjoyed the childcare part of it, just be careful what course you take on - I was led to believe I only had to flash my o level certificates and that would be it. I am never taking on another course unless I have to.

I handed in my last reflective account in Jan, still waiting to hear if I am getting it back!!

I found the course really useful and I certainly have a better understanding of the EYFS than I did beforehand. It is completely different from the CCLD and although a little tedious in places, I enjoyed it. We were a small group and had a laugh along the way.

Good luck. :D

Thankyou for your replies.
I am doing it at Worcester College of Technology and have received 75% funding from Worcestershire County Council.
Did NVQ prior to EYFS so thought it would be good to update .
Looking at workbook I'm pretty confident I will find it ok to do and will enjoy the reflection. Just a bit concerned that government will change/alter EYFS (depending who gets in) and it won't be so relevant.
Anyway, I now know who to ask if I need some help:laughing: :laughing:
I haven't heard of Zodiac, and I certainly wouldn't have gone ahead if I had to do Maths and English first, it's many years since I did O Levels. Sorry you had a bad experience Carol.
