Level 2 Early Years Practitioner

Your journey in becoming an Early Years Practitioner is split into 2 sections. There are the knowledge-based learning outcomes which means you are expected to write about what you have learnt and the skills-based learning which means you will be observed on placement. You cannot achieve this qualification if you do not go out on placement. You are expected to complete 250 hours with an employer to be able to meet each unit skills.
