I am completing my Early Years Educator Level 3 apprenticeship course with Busy Bees Education and Training. I started this in September 2022 after I finished my A-Levels, while working in a Busy Bees nursery full-time (due to finish in February 2025).
I applied through the Busy Bees website and was invited for an interview at the setting, where I was offered a job alongside my apprenticeship. I was contacted by a development coach via email who has stayed with me throughout my whole apprenticeship; an induction meeting was soon arranged using Teams to talk to each other. During this meeting I was asked to complete a maths and English assessment to check where my skills level was currently at, as well as a Cognassist assessment which allows my assessor to see how I process information in order to set my assignments to my abilities, due to my dyslexia.
