The level 3 Certificate in EYFS Practice is currently being developed by the Children's Workforce Development Council in partnership with the National Primary Strategy. It is expected to start in September.
Pauline Jones, CWDC's national development manager for early years, said, 'Everyone must be ready to deliver the EYFS and this certificate gives practitioners the opportunity to work towards it and gain accreditation, although it is not a full level 3 qualification.'
The new certificate forms part of the Government's 7m investment in training and support for the EYFS, to be made available in 2007-08. Each local authority will receive a share of this fund to boost training in the PVI sector and in primary schools.
