The Level 3 Diploma in Early Years Education and Care (Early Years Educator) is delivered in schools and colleges and is expected to take around two years to complete. In addition to providing a licence to practice, it is planned that it will confer UCAS points.
CACHE is also well progressed with its work-based equivalent qualification, aimed at those over the age of 19 and in work.
While this will also take around two years to complete, candidates will have to undergo additional assessment to demonstrate higher study skills to earn UCAS points. Details for this are still being worked out.
Currently, those undertaking the Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People's Workforce (CYPW) have to take the Extended Level 3 Diploma in order to earn UCAS points.
