Eden Training

CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Playwork (NVQ)

This course is right for you if you are working or interested in working in a senior role in after school clubs, holiday clubs, soft play areas etc. where you are working with children and young people aged between 4 to 16 in play environments.

Your performance, skills and competence will be assessed in the workplace throughout the duration of your course.

There will be a taught session at the college every month which all learners are encouraged to attend for underpinning knowledge, to gain and exchange ideas and socialise with others on your course.

An allocated Eden Training assessor will visit you in the workplace every 6-8 weeks to plan with you, carry out observations and question you on knowledge evidence.

You work at your own pace but should expect to take between 9 and 12 months to complete your course. We encourage learners to use our e-portfolio system – Learning Assistant.
