Do you want to work with children and help them every day?
Maybe you want to become a teaching assistant who inspires young learners.
Or perhaps you want to work in a nursery and help younger ones develop during the most important years of their lives.
This course is your first step if you want to have a career where your work has a positive impact on young children every day.
Why should you study this course?
You must be 16-19 years old with four GCSEs at grade 3 or above, including Maths and English.
You will also need a clear DBS check to work with children during work experience.
After you apply, you will attend an interview with the course tutors.

This is a chance to see if the course is right for you.
If the course isn't the right fit, or you don't get the grades you want, our tutors recommend Education ELEVATE.
