level 3 ccld with the home learning college

[Kiddiesrepublic]

hi all,
I am a newly registered childminder and thinking about doing my level 3 with the home learning college. I need advice if doing it online/long distance will be recognised by OFSTED. Has anyone completed their's with this HLC.
Thanks

yes it is serval of my cm friends are doing this route but they have been told its not a nvq due to not being observed at work so cannot call it that so double check
