Programme Purpose

The proposed one-year full-time equivalent programme leads to a Level 5 Certificate in Early Learning and Care. The programme is designed to meet the QQI professional award standards for early learning and care at NFQ level 5. The programme comprises six mandatory modules encompassing the knowledge, skills and competences required to work at entry level across a range of early learning and care settings or to progress to stage 2 of the Advanced Certificate in Early Learning and Care or to a relevant higher education programme. The focus is on providing for the holistic well-being, development and learning needs of children from 0 to six years across a range of ELC settings. The programme offers a balance of theory and practice, and professional practice placement is integral to the teaching and learning.
