For example; early years practitioner jobs, primary school teaching assistant jobs or childminding jobs. Make your CV standout from the crowd with a nationally recognised NCFE accredited qualification.

You are not required to complete a placement as part of our Level 2 Childcare course and there isn’t a final exam or test. The assessment questions are included in the course.

Achieve the ‘NCFE Cache Level 2 Certificate in Introducing Caring for Children and Young People’ qualification to add to your CV!

Why choose our Level 2 Childcare course? The majority of childcare courses advertised online aren’t accredited courses. They often aren’t backed by an awarding body and they’re delivered as CPD learning.

Our online childcare courses are fully accredited by nationally recognised awarding body, NCFE. You’re assessed on our Level 2 Childcare course to ensure you meet the standards set by the awarding body. You’ll have support from one of our tutors throughout the course to help you pass.

This is important when it comes to applying for jobs. Employers value an accredited qualification much more highly than CPD learning. A fully accredited qualification will improve the chances of your CV being shortlisted. And, it’s more likely you’ll be invited for an interview.
