Training for the new BTEC National Early Childhood Development (2025)
These sessions are aimed at UK based teachers preparing to deliver the BTEC National (2025) in Early Childhood Development.
This live session will meet the following objectives:
• Centres can confidently plan the delivery of the new qualifications at Level 3, based on their and their learners' needs.
• Centres have a clear view on the underpinning knowledge required to deliver the units.
• Centres identify how to use internal assessment support materials to inform teaching and learning and understand the standard.
• Centres know where to find support, via the website or specific roles within Pearson. The training provides a general run through of internal and external assessment.
