    I need some help here please.

    A friend is doing the above course. It's not a diploma per se but it is a component certificate, ie: along with this cert she will need 4 add on modules which she will do in order to make it a full level 6 award, which I am assuming means it will be the full diploma.

    The question I'm asking here is what will she be actually awarded at the end of this year?

    thanks

    She will get 6 fetac level 6 component certs along with portobellos montessori diploma.
    If your friend does the extra 4 modules, then she will have a major fetac award level 6 in supervision in childcare.
