Supervision in Childcare

Our Advanced supervision course is delivered using a number of blended learning methods; this course has been design specifically for people with experience and a great understanding of the childcare sector. This course will meet the ECCE requirements.

A pre-school year catering for 16 to 20 children, as appropriate to the setting, must be delivered by a Pre-school year Leader assisted by a childcare worker. Where a Pre-school year caters for not more than 8 or 10 children, as appropriate, it must be delivered by a Pre-school year Leader.

Pre-school year Leaders must hold a certification for a major award in childcare/early education at a minimum of level 5 on the National Framework of Qualifications of Ireland (NFQ) or an equivalent nationally recognised qualification or a higher award in the childcare/early education field. During the first 2 full years of the scheme, as an interim measure the Pre-school Leader must be able to demonstrate that he or she has achieved a certification for an award in ECCE that includes significant content relating to early childhood education/early learning and child development, health and welfare and has at least 2 years experience of working in a position of responsibility with children in the 0-6 age range. By September 2012 every Pre-school Leader must have at least a full FETAC Level 5 qualification in childcare.

The standard qualification level will be increased to level 6 at a future point.
