We’ll also provide you with a full and relevant Paediatric First Aid certificate, Makaton and Early Talk Boost training so you’ll be ready to dive straight in.
And the best part? It's completely free, and we'll even assist you with your DBS application! Don't let this amazing chance to acquire valuable skills, accelerate your career, and create a meaningful difference in the lives of young children slip away. Reserve your place today!
ABOUT THE BOOTCAMP
Aspire Training Team are proud to offer a 6 week programme consisting of live online group learning, 1-1 support from a dedicated team of Trainers, weekly placement with a local Early Years setting, Level 1 Makaton training by our experienced Trainer, support with your DBS application and a full and relevant Paediatric First Aid certificate.
Over the course of 8 weeks you will take part in fun learning sessions designed to provide you with an introduction to childcare and help you to understand more about how children learn and develop. You will spend one day a week on a placement with a local Nursery where you get the opportunity to test your practical skills and begin to form relationships with what will hopefully become the setting for your accelerated Level 3 Early Years Educator apprenticeship.
All taught sessions will be online, and you will need to attend an in-person First Aid training day at one of our locations.
