While CWDC has now agreed to support the continuation of the CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Education and the Edexcel BTEC National Diploma in Children's Care, Learning and Development for the September 2010 cohort only, it still expects many colleges to start delivering the new Level 3 Diploma at that time.
Key dates in its development this year include:
- 21 February: UCAS submission deadline
- 31 March: Qualification uploaded on to Qualifications Credit Framework
- June 2010: UCAS Board
- September: First cohort starts on the new Level 3 Diploma
