NVQ advice?

[samkeddy]

Hi,
I had my inspection today and Mrs O advised that we all need to have completed or be completing at least an NVQ level 2 in childcare and eucation by 2012.

My LA told me that she would say this and that it isnt true.

But i want to complete an NVQ3 anyway although the only ones running local to me are 'childcare, learning and development' as opposed to 'childcare and education' that Mrs O mentioned.

Does anyone know if there is much difference and if its worth while doing 'childcare, learning and development' it really takes my fancy but dont want to waste my time if its one of those qualifications no-one ever cares about!

I'd appreciate any advice
Thanks x

There is a new qualification coming out in September for a level 3 early years, childcare and education (or whatever the new title is).

I'd wait and see about that if I were you.

It is true that to be registered on the Childcare register there is a requirement for a level 2 qualification... that might be what she was talking about.

Hth :D
