Course Overview

Transform your existing qualifications into a full honours degree in just one year, and open up a world of career opportunities. Develop new skills to help you in your current job, to apply for a more senior position, or to continue into postgraduate study. This online top-up course lets you build on your previous qualifications and experience in the early year's sector by enriching your role and your knowledge as you learn.

Our online course can be taken over one or two years, according to your preferred choice. It is designed to provide new skills and knowledge for people currently working, or wishing to work, as a teaching assistant, early year’s nursery worker or playworker, and who already hold a Foundation Degree in Early Years Education.

Working with young children is hugely rewarding and enormous fun. It can also be very challenging, and it’s a fast-paced sector. We will help you develop the skills, knowledge, and qualities needed to deliver a high standard of professional practice in your workplace.

Our tutors have experience of working in the education sector and will give you regular, helpful support and feedback. You’ll study individually and in small groups, facilitated via our online Learning Management System, to develop your flexibility, independence and teamwork.

Entry Requirement 

  • A Foundation Degree (or other recognised Level 5 qualification) in Early Years Education*
  • Experience working in the Early Years sector
  • If English is not your first language you will be expected to demonstrate a certificated level of proficiency of at least IELTS 6.0 (Academic level) or equivalent English Language qualification, as recognised by ARU
  • A current Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is required.
  • Qualifications may also be considered for Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL).

*Please note: We are unable to accept previously achieved credit from the City & Guilds Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for the Children and Young People's Workforce - Early Years (Advanced Practice) qualification as it doesn’t provide the pre-requisite 240 credits. You would first need to complete our Early Years and Education FDA course and then you can automatically progress to this top-up course to complete your degree.

As a distance learner, you'll also need a suitable computer with an internet connection, together with sufficient IT competence to make effective use of our online learning management system (LMS) with high-speed internet and email.

Accredited prior learning may reduce the tuition fees. This will be confirmed once your application has been submitted.
