Live virtual childcare and early years training

To support the childcare sector through the coronavirus / COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken some of our popular face-to-face childcare courses online through virtual training classrooms and webinars.

Our live virtual classroom training and webinars enable us to continue supporting members with training. Virtual classrooms are a more immersive alternative to online training, due to other participant involvement.
