These training programmes are for people aged 16 to 24 who have left full-time education. They are a combination of on- and off-the-job training and result in key skills, a technical certificate and NVQs. They can be pursued at Foundation and Advanced levels, and last between one and three years.
Christina Richards, operations director at Academy Childcare, said, 'Early years students leave college filled with theory, but are often not practically equipped or experienced for the job. Modern Apprenticeships break down this barrier between knowledge and practical application by allowing individuals to gain both at the same time.'
