It's a complete short-cut for people, to get EYPS through the Open Uni you only have to do two Level 1 modules, and work in 2 different settings during the year, and then all of a sudden you've got EYPS? You don't have to have any previous experience and your degree doesn't even have to be relevant, it can be in anything, i.e. engineering etc. As a senior nursery nurse, it offends me that just because someone has a degree, they think they only need a year to learn how to look after children. I see that a degree is needed, but I think it should be relevant to the post - I am working hard to do my BA Early Years so I can then do my validation EYPS and it annoys me someone else can do it in a year without any previous experience. You're not allowed to do a primary PCGE unless you have a relevant degree, it should be the same rules.
