A new generation of flexible childcare and education qualifications is coming on stream in September with the launch of modular Level 2 and 3 qualifications devised by CACHE.
The new awards, the Certificate and Diploma in Child Care and Education, are being introduced to keep pace with workforce reform, bring the syllabus up to date with initiatives such as the Early Years Foundation Stage, and meet modern learning styles.

'It now covers the 0-16 age range and it is important that people coming to work in the sector have the basic knowledge across the full age range. They can still have specialisms, but they need the generic skills for working with children aged 0-16 if they are still going to be employable in ten to 15 years' time.'
