Frequently Asked Questions

This programme is specifically designed to help you enhance your experience in education and social care, providing the skills, knowledge, and behaviours needed to become a prolific leader, and build a successful career.

By the end of the course, learners will be fully equipped with everything needed to take on more senior responsibilities, confidently lead teams in educational and social care settings, and facilitate expert support for parents and families.

Upon completion, learners will receive a Level 5 TQUK Diploma in Leadership and Management - once the End-Point Assessment (EPA) is passed.

Working within the Children & Education space can be an extremely rewarding vocation. When leading teams to help children learn and grow, or support them through challenging times, it is imperative that you possess the correct knowledge and skills to ensure your employees safeguard a child’s comfort and safety, maintain legal compliance, and provide peace of mind for parents and families.

The Level 5 apprenticeship qualification is the academic equivalent to a bachelor’s degree.

As a learner, nothing at all. As an employer, course costs will be covered by levy funding. If your business is not a levy payer, 95% of course costs will be covered by government funding.

The remaining 5% of the £6,000 fee works out at just £300. For the value this will add to your CV and your team at work, the return on your employer’s small investment is a cost-effective way for you to help boost your employer’s business as a whole.

Achieving any qualification takes work and dedication. That said whether you are a learner or a business, The Childcare Company will provide all the resources and support you could ever need. We’ll work alongside you to ensure your success.

No matter which of the two distinct pathways you choose to study, the Level 5 Children, Young People & Families Manager apprenticeship runs for a total of 18 months. However, you do have the opportunity to finish earlier, depending on your preferred pace of working.

The delivery of the course is a blend of online and in-person learning.
