The two-year course, which is validated by the University of Gloucestershire, enables early years practitioners to gain a Level 5 qualification while they are working. On completion there is the opportunity to top up to a full Honours degree.
Norland College says it is the first educational establishment specialising in early years to offer an online foundation degree that is entirely based on distance learning.
While the course is delivered online, students are supported throughout by a Norland tutor. The subjects covered include Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Heuristic Play, Parenting Approaches and Communication and Language. Assessment will be carried out through a combination of online discussions, presentations, blogs, case studies and observation. There are no exams.
