Training Outcome:

After completing a level 2 apprenticeship, many of our apprentices continue to complete their level 3 qualifications with ourselves to be fully qualified. This then opens the door to a clear and rewarding career path in early years education. After completing the apprenticeship, many apprentices progress into roles such as Nursery Practitioner, taking on more responsibility for planning activities and supporting children’s development. With experience, they can move into senior positions like Room Leader, Deputy Manager, or Nursery Manager. You may choose to specialise to focus on your areas of interest, such as SEND workers or a safeguarding officer.
