Due to the popularity of this course, applications are processed in groups. Applicants within the first group will be invited to an interview where they will complete a questionnaire. They will need to successfully complete the questionnaire to obtain a place in the course.

If your application is not within the first group, you will be placed on a wait list and will be invited to an interview if a place becomes available.

For entry applicants must show evidence that they have a Registered Working with Vulnerable People Card (RWVP) or a receipt that the applicant has applied for a RWVP card. A RWVP card is a requirement of the National Quality Framework Regulations for Early Education environments (if a receipt is used as evidence the card must be shown as evidence prior to stating the course).
