This route has start dates in September and is classroom based, delivered one day per week in College. You will also spend one day per week on a voluntary work placement within an education setting of your choice. You will need to seek and secure this independently although we can help you with this.
The day route is on a Tuesday, from 9.30am – 3.00pm.
This route has flexible start dates throughout the year and is mainly assessed in the workplace. You will need to be in paid employment or have a volunteer placement within a school or college supporting children and young people aged 5 to 19 years of age.
