Please note that the NCFE CACHE Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People`s Services (England) (Children and Young People`s Management) (601/4312/5/CYPM) holds no employment route to the early years workforce.
Learners wishing to enter the early years workforce must hold a qualification that is ‘full and relevant’ as defined by the Department for Education (DfE). NCFE CACHE offers several Early Years Educator qualifications at Level 3 that meet this criteria.
Those students without a Level 3 Early Years qualification wishing to study at Level 5 could work towards the NCFE CACHE Level 5 Early Years Senior Practitioner (603/3907/X) which meets the full and relevant criteria to enter the early years workforce and count in the Level 3 staffing ratios.
