Pearson BTEC Higher National Diploma
Early Childhood Education at ANC Education is designed to give students the edge to succeed as an Early Years Educator and to provide theoretical knowledge that enables students to develop practical skills required to be an effective practitioner. This program incorporates a Practical and Reflective Evidence Portfolio (PREP) to facilitate practical exposure and demonstrate good practice and to help students focus attention on the importance of reflective practice in early childhood education qualifications.
BTEC Higher Nationals are accredited by the Ofqual Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). They are also mapped against the QAA Framework for Higher Education Qualifications and Subject Sector Benchmarks. The BTEC Higher Nationals offer a progression route to the final year of an honors degree in most UK universities.
