Assalamu alaikum, I can read and write arabic, but don't understand it. So I've been going to Al huda sisters since September. The class is called arabic grammer and their Arabic teacher is excellent, I really enjoy learning arabic. But the course started in September, so I'm not sure how easy it would be to catch up, although the text book we are using in class has most details written which is taught in class.

From their reply, I understand that we would have to find the Assessor ourselves and if the Assessor is based out of Dubai we would have to pay for their flight and the fee ( I had read this on another institute's website, for overseas students) Yes, I would like to finish the Level 3 course in about a year's time - so the EYES option of finishing it in 2 years along with the huge difference in price is not appealing. I will research the City and guild option as it may take away the headache of finding the Assessor. smf , do you have any previous nursery work experience or you already volunteering in one? I believe that's the other prerequisite? Everything is a bit vague for me at this stage.... edited by Glitzi on 04/02/2014 @glitzi Similar to you I don't have experience in nursery, I'm working on changing my career path to working as a nursery teacher. I've spoken to a few schools who are ready to give me a volunteering position. So hopefully I will start the volunteering in a week or two, but I'm still confused regarding where to study this course.

Hi, My cousin is in town for one day so I want to be able to pick her up from the airport and do a little sightseeing. Can you recommend a cheap car rental place from Sunday evening to Monday evening? Something small like a Yaris or Thiida. TIA Hi, I find Diamond lease the cheapest, they mostly have mitsubishis, Lancer is their cheapest option.

@smf I had sent an email to Nec to find out if we would need to be assessed at workplace for the Level 3 (DCYPW) This is the reply I got: [i'>[i'>Thank you for your enquiry. Because you are overseas we cannot send our tutor to do the final observation in the workplace. You can either nominate a qualified assessor, whom we will vet before you begin the course. An attachment describes their qualifications required. Or there are organisations appearing who can supply an assessor in some regions.[/i'>[/i'> @Glitzi Thanks for sharing this info. I had asked the same question with NEC, was still waiting for their reply. I think it's still vague, who would pay a local assessor, is NEC expecting the assessor to volunteer just for assessing? Will try to ask this to NEC. Even I spoke to EYES in knowledge village. Studying level 2 and level 3 together would take 2 years to complete, plus 3 times the money compared to what I would pay NEC for Level 3 DCYPW I've also spoken to someone from city and guilds (www.qualitymatters4children.com), apparently its same as cache but just another entity. Their cost is similar to NEC. With once a week workshop. Only advantage NEC has is that you can study at your pace and finish your course faster or slower.

I am 3/4 through this course, it is all essays no in work obs, or assessment with NEC. In nov the course changed and is much more expensive now and is up to age 18. I am not enjoying the course and feel I have learnt very little. @ Elmpark, Which course are you exactly taking from NEC? Because I remember they have two Cache level 3 diplomas, one was Preschool Practice (which is not offered anymore and was cheaper), and the other is Diploma for Children and Young Peoples Workforce (DCYPW).

Dear all, I'm planning to start a new career into preschool teaching, and I'm planning to take up a Cache level 3 diploma from www.nec.ac.uk. As I understand Cache level 3 diploma is the basic qualification to enter teaching in preschools/ nurseries. If anyone has taken similar course from NEC, I would like to hear your review about it. Thanks and regards.
