NVQ Level 3 CCLD (Children’s Care, Learning and Development)
I’ve enrolled with @home childcare training centre to do this course. I began on February 6th 2010 and hope to complete this course by September 30th 2010.
I have currently completed 6 units and am working on unit 7 of 9. I’m currently 82% complete with my course.
This course is worked around my family life, working hours and is home based, with an NVQ assessor visiting me during working hours or hours to suit my needs.
