body. Nothing more exciting happening here in terms of content, but just filling up the
space to make it look, at least at first glance, a bit more representative of how this would
look in a real-world application.Depending on the grade the learner achieves in this qualification, they could progress to level 2 and level
3 qualifications and/or GCSE/A Levels/T Levels.
Learners who achieve at level 1 might consider progression to level 2 qualifications post-16, such as:
• GCSE:
o Health and Social Care
o Childcare
• study at level 2 in a range of technical routes that have been designed for progression to
employment, apprenticeships, and further study (for example, Level 2 Technical Certificate in Health
and Social Care)
Learners could also progress onto an apprenticeship. The understanding and skills gained through this qualification could be useful to progress onto an apprenticeship in the early years sector through various occupations available within the sector, such as early years practitioners, early years educators and teaching assistants.
