In the middle of a global recession Childminders need to think about ways to make themselves more marketable. Could this be having additional qualifications to Childcare ones such as the NVQ3 in Early Years Care and Education or the Diploma in Homebased Childcare? We have found some ONLINE qualification and training providers that offer FREE courses. On this page we provide links to the companies and some information on the courses that we felt would be of interest to Childminders.
Completing courses and qualifications can have a very positive impact on a childminder:
· Increase in knowledge and skills
· Improvement in their practice
· Increase in self confidence in own abilities
· Enhanced Portfolio providing greater opportunities
· Completing a Level 1 or 2 qualification may also lead to further learning.
For Childminders who are considering Childminding as a stepping stone to other forms of childcare then gaining qualifications in a wide range of related areas can only enhance their career opportunities.
