“Being an apprentice with District One Training was an opportunity I am so grateful for. My tutor was such an amazing person to work with. She was supportive but made sure I was producing the best work I could possibly put out.”
“Great training company. We train all of our staff here. The trainers/tutors are excellent. They are the best!”
“From the moment we made contact about training they were superb. Communication has been great and the advice through the whole process.”
To enrol in the programme, you must already be working in an Early Years setting. The employer will contact us and complete a few forms to have everything in place!
Once the employer has completed this, we will send a self-registration link to the learner, where they add all their details to our E-portfolio. After this we will arrange an onboarding meeting with the employer, learner and ourselves, where we confirm all the details are correct and everyone understands the requirements & expectations.
Our Early Years courses can be started at any time.
Yes, there a few requirements to keep in mind:
If you or a staff member is brand new to Early Years, then the Level 2 Early Years Practitioner Privately Funded may be what you’re looking for. It serves as an entry point, offering hands-on experience, structured training, and a nationally recognised qualification.
Learners benefit from mentorship and support while contributing to children’s development in Early Years settings. This course opens doors for career progression and provides a solid foundation for further growth within the sector.
This qualification holds significant value, counting in ratio at Level 3, enabling roles such as Nursery Teacher, Room Leader, or Manager.
Additionally, our students and apprentices have demonstrated remarkable career trajectories. Notable roles our graduates have transitioned into includes:
If you don’t have GCSE English & Maths grade C/4 or Functional Skills equivalent, you will have the opportunity to study Functional Skills English & Maths whilst on the course, this is not a requirement.
However, since English is required to be counted in staff:child ratios in the EYFS, we always heavily recommend everyone to study English if they do not already hold it, however Maths is not an EYFS requirement.
The standard time the L3 Early Years Educator combined with Montessori Diploma takes is 8 – 12 months.
The course works in tandem with your everyday job. There will be an expectation of outside learning in your personal time as this is a L3 which is equivalent to an A-level.
Yes, we do! You can enrol on the Level 3 EYE course as a standalone qualification, without the Montessori Diploma.
Answer a few simple questions and we’ll guide you to the right course or apprenticeship.
