FdA Early Years

Course Overview

In addition to the taught part of the course, you will be involved in work-based learning modules throughout the two years; these enable you to make ‘practice’ links with the ideas explored in taught modules.

You’ll also attend work-based learning workshops at university (typically three days per year) and produce written assignments showing how theory gives you insights into practice. Your workplace will need to support you by allowing you to attend the course and providing a mentor (usually someone with a degree or professional qualification) who will meet with you for an hour every two or three weeks. During that time, you’ll explore how your learning relates to practice at work.
