Level 2 qualifications enrolment extended until the end of the year

College-based childcare students will be able to continue to enrol on current Level 2 courses until December, pending the launch of a new Level 2 Certificate.  The Children's Workforce Development Council (CWDC) said this was a temporary measure for 16- to 19-year-olds studying full and relevant Level 2 vocationally related qualifications (VRQs) included in the qualifications list for those delivering the Early Years Foundation Stage. 05-03-2010
