The Certificate of Professional Development in Work with Children and Young People from the National Qualifications Framework has been discontinued. In future, continuing professional development will be possible by taking optional units from among the many available in the new "CACHE Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People’s Workforce" - from the Qualifications and Credit Framework. The NQF CPD Units retain their value and can also be considered for accreditation of prior learning against QCF Awards.

The new QCF Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People’s Workforce contains optional baby practice units and we can offer these with Unit certification on successful completion.

CYPOP 1: Work with babies and young children to promote their development and learning

CYPOP 2: Care for the physical and nutritional needs of babies and young children

If you currently hold a Level 3 in Early Years and are interested in these units, please contact us for further information
