The flexible online training has been developed in consultation with early years experts and provides a greater understanding of child development.

The training:

• includes opportunities to reflect on your practice
• reinforces your understanding through learning check questions and tests
• allows you to pause and restart the training at any time
• offers the chance to download certificates of achievement for each module

The first 4 modules of the training are available now. Further modules will be added throughout 2023.
