Work matters: Training - Distance learning - On the road to a degree

Careers & Training
One popular route to a degree is described by Jane Mardin and Penny Mukherji of the London Metropolitan University.

With the Government determined to fulfil its ambition of having a graduate with EYP status in every full daycare setting by 2015, many practitioners will be considering a degree in Early Childhood Studies.

Where flexibility of study is an absolute priority, a distance learning course, such as that offered by the London Metropolitan University in north London, can be a good option. Its Early Childhood Studies modular degree scheme allows students to study part-time, either by attending taught courses in the evening or day release, by distance learning, or elements of both. It is designed to meet the needs of experienced practitioners, who have completed at least three years full-time (or the part-time equivalent) working with groups of children in an early years setting.
