Level 2 Childcare

Our Level 2 Childcare course is a brilliant introduction to the childcare sector.

At Learning Curve Group we do not disadvantage learners, so our only entry requirement is a genuine interest in Childcare, GCSE grades will not impact on you being able to join us.

Attendance is 3 days per week, plus additional days if Maths and English are required (if achieved less than 4 in either). A work placement is also required to gain valuable experience to support your learning.

Progression is performance based, with the option to study a Level 3 Qualification in the second year.

Course fees are fully funded for 16 – 18 year olds (if aged under 19 before 31st August).

A Learning Curve financial bursary is available which may cover the above costs plus travel and lunch. The eligibility criteria includes:

o A learner, Parent or Guardian in receipt of recognised benefits

o A household income under £42,000 per year
