This course is for those, who are a teacher, lecturer or trainer in Early Years, or working in an Early Years setting who is keen to boost your professional qualifications and knowledge. It may also appeal if you’re someone who is simply interested in the field of education and have recently completed a degree in Early Years, Education Studies, Social Work or a related subject area. This course will give you a foundation for a career in many different educational settings, both public and private, in the UK or abroad. It is also suitable if you want to change career direction. This is because it provides a comprehensive international overview of teaching, learning and educational systems - although it doesn't give you Qualified Teaching Status (QTS). You will develop important transferable skills in scholarly studies, research skills and practice. These will prove useful when you find yourself working as part of a team, or having to handle lots of data.
