Vocational qualifications for the children’s workforce

Early Years settings need confident and knowledgeable staff members who have been trained to provide the very highest quality care and education. The EYFS regulations require at least 50% of staff to hold a level 2 and 3 qualification. In the future there are likely to be requirements for all staff to hold a minimum level 3 qualification.

Level 2 and 3 qualifications can help staff to progress to an Early Years Foundation Degree and Early Years Professional Status.

The Alliance has a great track record in training. Learners succeed and often excel: scoring high grades. For example in 2007 – 8, 83% of Level 3 learners achieved grades A‑C and 91% of Level 2 learners achieved Merit or Distinction grades.
