NCMA training
NCMA has worked with CWDC to develop the Home-based unit of the
level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People's Workforce
(CYPOP5). This high-quality award for those working in home-based
childcare with children aged 0-16 years offers the same high
standard you have come to expect from NCMA, but with a number of
options adding flexibility and choice for learners.
The course is made up of seven modules and a Skills for Life
assessment. NCMA has developed a range of optional learning
approaches that help and encourage flexible learning, allowing the
candidate to study in a manner than is suitable for their needs.
These are:
- Independent home study
- Online study
- Traditional class tutoring.
This can be supported with:
- Telephone tutoring
- Online tutoring
- Expericenced personal tutoring.
There is also a supporting text book and learner workbook for
the course.
The expectation is that, for an average candidate, it will
take around 40 hours' study to complete the course (this estimate
includes the assessment tasks). Successful candidates will be
awarded four credits towards the full level 3 qualification.
Local authorities will be able to select either a single
delivery package (for example, all components delivered online) or
a combination of different delivery options (for example, some
modules delivered online and some by face-to-face delivery).
