This website introduces you to this unique and innovative tool that has been praised by colleges, training companies and learners as providing the way forward for training in the 21st Century.

The learning programme, written by specialists in their field, provides a wealth of material that takes into consideration a learner’s preferred learning style and can be totally individualised to them.

Learners and trainers can select the most suitable materials in the programme, taking into account prior learning and the needs of the most inexperienced learners.

Tried and tested with over two thousand learners, it has been heralded as an enormous success. Learners are afforded the flexibility to work at a time and a place that suits them and at a pace that they control.

Leading the Way to the New Diploma

The Childcare Company and LASER Learning Ltd. are delighted to announce their involvement in the development of the Training Resource Pack for the new Children and Young People’s Workforce Diploma, which will supercede the current NVQ qualification structure from September 2010.

Education Director Sally Eaton, Information Manager Lisa Sutlieff and Operations Manager Tracy Elsom have been working closely with the qualification’s textbook publishers Heinemann and have written a wealth of resources, including paper based activities, schemes of work, video tutorials and multimedia, to accompany the textbook and provide rich supporting materials for tutors delivering the new qualification. The team make up three of the four authors working on the Training Resources Pack.

Sally Eaton commented: “The project has been a great opportunity to provide input into the delivery of the qualification nationwide, and we are so excited to be working with such renowned publishers to develop the resource. The pack concentrates a huge wealth of experience into extremely high quality resources and we also bring all the knowledge our company has gained from being leaders in the field of online childcare training.”

The new Training Resource Pack will be available in July this year from Amazon and Waterstones.
