Highland and Moray Accredited Training Services (HIMATS) is a joint initiative between Highland Pre-school Services, the Out of School Care Federation and the Scottish Childminding Association (Highland and Moray). The partnership aims to provide improved access to SVQs in Early Years Care and Education, Playwork and Management as well as introduce assessor and internal verifier awards in the future.
HIMATS will focus in particular on assisting early years staff working in rural areas who want greater access to recognised qualifications. The three parent organisations will provide support and mentoring to candidates.
Financial support has been awarded to HIMATS from both the Highland and Moray Childcare Partnerships and from Lloyds TSB Foundation. It is seeking additional finance to consolidate the company.
