I dont know if anyone else is feeling a bit swamped with the sheer amount of written work involved in the QCF level 3 CCLD diploma ! I completed the NVQ3 In Health and Social Care CYP 2 years ago and was employed in a Nursery Setting where I was then told my NVQ did not class me as a 'qualified member of staff in the environment' therefore I have had to go back to college to do the above mentioned diploma but am baffled as to how much the qualification has changed. I completed 8 units and 2 full observations and did this the same time as the CWDC Profile Workbook (as I was a Foster Carer at the time) within 6 months. However, I am going to struggle to get this done within a year and feel that there is an extortionate amount of written work compared to the NVQ....am I right in thinking that ? I have already completed 13 assignments, still have another 4 to do and thats just the Mandatory units !!! I have been told tho that the level of my work is such that all have been graded as 'distinctions' and my tutor said these would help immensely if I choose to go on and do the Foundation Degree !
Just need a boost from a fellow level 3'er and assurance that there is end in sight !!!
(other than that I may result to opening a chilled bottle of pink !!
