I have been doing an NVQ4 Management with Smart Training who are based in Kingston Upon Thames.I am three quarters of the way through and do most of my work at home as it is so hard to find the time at work.I attend study days once a month at a venue close to where I live.Is this the NVQ4 you mean as I wasn't sure? If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.Hope this info helps.

Hi I completed the NVQ4 in Early Years (Managment Strand) in Feb 2004, it was a hard slog, particularly the dissertation and also because its a relatively new level for Early Years, however, it was worth it. I did it through a local college, but I do know that not many places are offering this level in Early Years, though quite a few are doing it in Management. Good luck!!

I have enquired locally (leeds) about doing an NVQ4 in Managment but didn't realise there was one for Early Years. I was told that I couldn't apply for managment unless I was doing it as part of my job. I work in an educational setting as a nursery nurse but am incharge of students and supervise and advise new staff members. I would value any relevant information regarding Early Years and NVQ's. Thankyou.

You should look on the CACHE website as that was the awarding body I did my NVQ4 with and they will give you further info. There are 3 strands to take and you choose 1 of them, they are Management, Quality Assurance (I think) and I cant remember the other one sorry!!! There are 14 (?) units to do but if you have the assessor award D32/D33 then they are counted as 2 of the units. There were 11 of us started on our course but only 3 finished. From my experience I would say you have to be at some sort of management level in order to be able to collect reliable and authentic evidence. The dissertation which is a BIG reflective unit for the whole of the NVQ4 is counted as one of the units, I found this to be the hardest bit, in fact I failed the dissertation the first time round but was able to resubmit a couple of months later, when I passed, it took 2 years from start to finish and college one night a week for a year, but was definitely worth it. Good luck!

Hi

I used to work for a training provider in the Brighton area in East Sussex which offered NVQ Level 4 in Early Years, and am fairly sure the 3 different areas are Management, Quality Assurance (which is people who are trainers or assessors in early years) and Early Years Practitioner. I think the Early Years Practitioner is aimed at people who either work with the oldest ones in nursery and school aged children.
