In order to demonstrate threshold competence in your chosen occupational specialism, you will be observed during your industry placement.

How is this course assessed?
Core component
● 2 written examinations
● employer-set project (ESP)
In order to achieve a grade for the core component, you must attempt both of the external examinations and the ESP. The combined marks from these assessments will be aggregated to form the overall core component grade (A* to E and U). If you do not attempt one of the assessments or fail to reach the minimum standard across all assessments, you will receive a U grade.
Occupational specialism component
● synoptic assignments
You will also be required to successfully achieve a distinction/merit/pass grade in one of the occupational specialism components. If you fail to reach the specified level of attainment, you will receive a U grade.
Additional placement hours for Early Years Educator

These additional hours are essential to enable you to meet the requirements of the industry and gain sufficient occupational experience to be a competent employee in the early years’ sector.
