EXCLUSIVE: Trailblazer drafts apprenticeship standard for EYE Level 3

The newly-appointed Early Years Trailblazer group has launched a three-week consultation on the development of the EYE Level 3 apprenticeship standard.

The group, led by Busy Bees, the largest nursery group in the UK, has drawn up a new draft Level 3 apprenticeship standard for the Early Years Educator (EYE) qualification.

It follows publication of the previous draft standard in November 2014 by the former Trailblazer group, which was sacked by the Department for Education (DfE) in February because of ‘very slow progress’. The accompanying assessment at Level 3 submitted by the group was never published.

The new Trailblazer, which consists of several nursery providers and Birmingham City University, is inviting employers to provide feedback on the standard via an online survey.
