    i have justed finished a level 5 and starting the level 6.
    Well there is alot of assignments to do but if you put your whole engery to it you will get good marks.
    I studied full time and some of the subjects I did was early childhood education,working in childcare,art and craft and child development.
    Also you get to do work experience which is good to see if your interested to work in childcare or not.
    After doing the level 5 you could start working as its the minimum requirment.

    If you do decide to start a childcare course, be warned that level 5 will just about get you employment. It's crucial that you get the highest level you can achieve, especially considering that eventually they aren't going to be employing those with just level 5.
