Early Years Practitioner Apprenticeship Level 2

Nursery Practitioner at Little People at The Limes Nursery
If you are thinking about doing this Early Years Practitioner Apprenticeship, it is beneficial as you are able to learn the practical skills in the work place, whilst achieving a qualification.
Jess has just successfully completed her Early Years Practitioner Level 2 Apprenticeship at Lancaster & Morecambe College, and was awarded the highest grade of Distinction. She is currently employed as a Nursery Practitioner at Little People at the Limes Nursery near Preston, offering quality care and pre-school education for children aged from babies to 5 years old
One of the most enjoyable aspects of the course for Jess has been the ability to continue working while studying, allowing her to feel fully settled in her nursery setting while gaining the experience and knowledge needed to complete her qualification.
A key skill I have developed during my time at LMC is understanding the theory behind her job role, which has helped me to apply this knowledge confidently in my everyday practice in the nursery with the children and my work colleagues.
Studying at LMC has also supported Jess professionally by deepening her understanding of legislation, guidance and child development, all while remaining in her role as a Nursery Practitioner, caring for and educating children aged 2–3.
Her proudest achievement during her time at college is achieving a Distinction in her Level 2 Early Years Practitioner exam, a milestone that reflects her hard work and dedication, and she is planning to progress onto the Early Years Educator Apprenticeship Level 3 which will continue to expand and develop her knowledge of the Childcare industry.

YOUR TUTOR(S)
I would say come to College, study Beauty Therapy, be pampered, pamper clients, but be prepared to work hard for the qualifications to get far in the industry. It's a very rewarding career to go into, putting smiles on clients faces and giving them a new found confidence.
Try to achieve the best grades you can. As a qualified Carpenter or Joiner, you will have the opportunity to work anywhere in the world.
My favourite part of working at Lancaster & Morecambe college is watching students progress and supporting them with their learning. I also love knowing they are learning within a hairdressing environment and being able to see them develop their skills and knowledge in hairdressing.
It’s really difficult to state just one thing I love about working at Lancaster & Morecambe College because there are so many! I really wanted to work here because the college has a fantastic reputation. I love introducing new ways of working and keeping up with relevant trends to improve the course, and I really enjoy the supportive environment that we create for our students.
Behind every great business is a fantastic accountant! AAT qualifications are highly valued and they can really push you to achieve great things in your career. The whole team at LMC are dedicated and excited about giving you the best possible start in your new journey!
I would recommend LMC as a fantastic place to study sport and continue your development and interests in football. Your studies link to your football development as much as possible, helping you gain the knowledge, skills and experiences to pursue a career in sport in the future.
