Study Details: 1 year part-time
Working as an early years teacher is a rewarding and challenging career and you can make a real difference to young children’s development and life chances. This part time training programme is designed for graduates employed in early years settings who wish to extend their teaching skills with children from birth to five years and develop their knowledge of early childhood learning and development. Your employer must be in full support of your application.
This one year part time training route enables you to work towards Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS) whilst being employed in an early years setting. In addition to the role that you have with children in your workplace, you will have the opportunity to extend your knowledge and skills through placement experiences to fully meet the Teachers’ Standards (Early Years) by the end of your training programme.
We recognise that as an employed-based student you will have unique training needs and we will work with you to create an individual training plan in consultation with your employer. We emphasise the importance of developing a strong knowledge and understanding of early childhood development, theory and early years pedagogy. This will support your expertise in supporting and leading reflective practice and quality provision for babies and young children across the Early Years Foundation Stage and the transition to Key Stage 1.
You will benefit from the guidance of expert tutors who bring a wealth of professional experience to their teaching. The opportunity to gain the postgraduate certificate in Early Years Foundation Stage Teaching, which can be used towards a master’s degree in the future, will enhance your professional development as a critically reflective early years teacher with EYTS.
