The majority of the students will be progressing from the Foundation Degree 2 year programmes at the College.  Students from other institutions that have passed and completed a related foundation degree, may be accepted, subject to interview. Entry requirements for students – 10 hours per week employment or voluntary work in a child or young people's setting. Entry is subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

The course has been designed for those working with children and young people aged 0-19 years in settings such as schools, nurseries, childcare, foster care, child minders, youth groups, cadets, or library services.
