You have up to a year to complete this course, we suggest a number of study hours of up to 200 hours, which is around 30 minutes per day for 12 months. This is usually ample time for learners, even with full-time jobs and other commitments. Don’t worry if you go over the year though, we can organise an extension to your course for a small fee, which also extends your tutor support.
Throughout this course, you may be expected to complete assignments, essays, research projects, presentations, video/audio recordings, and practical learning sessions to meet the requirements of your course. This information will be included in your study pack detailing exactly what you need to do to accomplish your goals as a student.
There will be a requirement for you to have a class teacher/mentor/supervisor who will also add evidence of your competence to your portfolio. It’s important that you provide the contact details of these individuals and the schools that they work at to your tutor.
Your course is assessed in two different ways as you progress through your course.
Coursework
During your course, you will compile a portfolio of evidence which demonstrates your learning against various assessment criteria of the course. Some portfolio evidence will need to be witnessed by a competent person in the workplace hence students must be employed in a school or arrange and complete a work experience placement.
Observation
You’ll need to be observed in a suitable workplace (employed or voluntary) whist carrying out various tasks for around 100 hours in total. Observation can be by a qualified teacher, assessor, or a higher level of management. You can either find yourself an observer, or, for an additional fee, we can send one of our tutors to come observe you.
In 2015, NCFE acquired CACHE. As of September 2017, our CACHE courses will now be known as NCFE CACHE, and you will receive your certificate from both awarding bodies.
This qualification comes with NCFE CACHE Level 3 certification. NCFE CACHE have been developing courses in the childcare, education and healthcare sectors since 1945 and are one of the most reputable awarding bodies for qualifications in the UK and overseas.
