That's an awfully long time!!! Could you not find an NVQ course that you could start straight away? Or do you only have funding for the DHC

I think Jules probably means the full DHC and not just unit 1 (ICP)

Yes, It is the full DHC that I am on about, ICP is just unit1. The NVQ 3 is due to start at the same time. I want to do DHC first as feel it will give me a good underpining knowledge ready for NVQ 3 as I do not have a childcare background before childminding. After speaking to those who are funding it I can apparently swap to NVQ after any unit of DHC if I want to but I would prefer to complete the whole thing first!!! Got my eyes on a degree after NVQ aswell as never went to uni. God i'm gonna be busy over the next few years!!!!:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Need to dust off those brain cells!! lol!!:D

You sound like me! I am trying to decide whether to move on to CCLD level 4 or the foundation degree next. I decided not to do DHC and just went straight on to NVQ and have found it really easy. I don't have a child care background either but have a fab assessor which akes it so much better.
Good luck and I hope they don't postbone it again xx
