DCE is NNEB, OK?

Wednesday, May 8, 2002

I am in my second year of studying the Diploma in Childcare and Education but have encountered a problem - employers don't recognise the qualification. On the many occasions I have had to explain about the Diploma, people say, 'It's a shame you're not doing the NNEB, it's a good qualification.' The Diploma has replaced the NNEB and is worth three A-levels. It is also a higher qualification than the NNEB, but it does not appear to be recognised as such, if at all.
