Nursery World - Online training for childcarers

Childcarers can now access training from the comfort of their own home following the launch of an internet college for early years professionals. The Yorkshire-based Internet College for Early Years Education (I-C-EYE) is offering a course on Introducing Childminding Practice that was developed jointly by the National Childminding Association and CACHE. It intends to provide two further courses, Developing Childminding Practice and Extending Childminding Practice, in the coming year.

The college has already enrolled 500 students on the ICP course and expects thousands more to begin their studies in September. It is also developing courses on becoming a Montessori assistant teacher and on marketing and public relations for early years providers.

The courses allow childcarers to study in their own time and support is provided by qualified CACHE-approved tutors. There are also student networks on the internet, a computer health desk, and access to resources, information and associated websites.
