Do you really want to study childcare at your local college?

When many potential students initially think about attending a childcare course, they think that this will mean them attending classes at a local further education college, at the same time and place every week during term-time.  The question that you should consider is, "Do you really want to study childcare at your local college?"

At DaC Childcare Training we recognise that many students do not want to attend a childcare training course at their local college, for their own personal reasons or circumstances.  Indeed, at DaC Childcare Training we believe that not attending your local college has many attractive benefits!

Students attending a college to study childcare will in most instances have to attend classes at a set time and place during the college term-time. The time and place that you have to study is very inflexible, therefore a college course might not easily fit around your current lifestyle.

At DaC Childcare Training we do not have classes or terms, as our courses are studied by distance learning.  This means that your time and place of study is totally flexible and will definitely fit around your lifestyle.  You can study at your own pace, and if you wish, the lack of college term-time and

holidays at our centre means that you can achieve your childcare qualification much quicker than in a college.

Distance learning does not mean that you are alone in your studies. Whereby a college might only be able to help you during classes, and then only in term-time, a further advantage of our childcare courses is that we have an experienced childcare tutor who can answer any of your questions, everyday, including weekends, between 8am and 9pm, something that colleges do not offer!

The range of accredited CACHE & BTEC childcare courses that we offer are identical to those offered by most local colleges, and are instantly recognised by employers as being of a high standard.

Our full range of CACHE & BTEC childcare courses can be viewed on our website.  If you would like free advice about the course that would most meet your needs, please feel free to contact us for a no obligation informal discussion by calling 01978 366336 or 07811 357035, or by sending us an email.

Choosing the Right Childcare Course : The Importance of Course Accreditation

whatever level of childcare course you decide to undertake it is probable that you will want to use the qualification to either prove to an employer that you are the right candidate for the job or the person who should be promoted.

The employer will want to be fully satisfied that your childcare qualification means that you have  sufficient knowledge, training and experience to meet the expectations of the job.  This means that the employer must recognise the qualification. If after studying for a course you find that your childcare qualification is not recognised by employers it will disappointingly hamper your success in proceeding in your chosen career. Additionally, the money, time and effort that you have taken working toward the childcare qualification will have been wasted.

When choosing a childcare course it absolutely essential that the qualification that you will receive on successfully completing the childcare course is widely recognised by employers as being of a high standard, and that you have completed the course with a training centre accredited to award you with that qualification.


At DaC Childcare Training, we are proud to be a fully accredited training centre for two of the most respected childcare qualification awarding bodies, CACHE and BTEC

Cache started its life as the well-known and respected National Nursery Examination Board (NNEB), in 1945.  After a number of key mergers with the Council for Early Years Awards and the National Association for Maternal & Child Welfare, it has formed into a very experienced and specialist awarding body.

Cache courses are written by experts in the field of study. With employers the Cache qualifications have gained a reputation for excellence and leadership, and have also helped to raise professional standards in the sector.  Such is the high reputation of Cache qualifications 1000 colleges and training providers in both the United Kingdom and abroad have chosen to provide Cache qualifications.


BTEC has around 30 years of experience as an awarding body. It is one of the most recognised qualifications by schools, colleges, universities, employers and professional bodies, not only in the United Kingdom, but additionally in over 100 countries worldwide!

Again, BTEC courses are developed and continually updated in partnership with key industry representatives, to provide employers with qualified employees that have a high standard of practical knowledge in childcare.

DaC Childcare Training has a proud reputation of helping students from a wide range of backgrounds achieve success in both BTEC and Cache childcare courses.  Dac Childcare Training offers a full range of childcare courses from entry level to foundation degree level.  The full range of our courses can be viewed on our website.
