Help - Optional Units!

[Optimus Prime]

Hi folks, I just wondered how you all chose your optional units? I keep hearing people saying that their assessor chose theirs and I am seeing mine tomorrow and want it to be my decision but I'm not sure which ones to do! Of course I don't mind her advice but I wondered what other people thought. I work in a private day nursery and plan on staying put for the forseeable future if that's relevant. Thanks

Think about what areas you would like to learn more about. What intrests you have and what are you good at. If it is communication, creativity, or physical. This will help in choosing.
Some can have more assistment and a single project/ activerty may cover many units.
Also if your assessor is good they willbe able to cross ref to other units knowing your folder.
Good luck and well done for getting this far.

Hi - I would choose units that interest you and that you have knowledge in already as you will find them not only easier to complete but also relevant to your role, especially as many of them require you to demonstrate in your practice.
Also, think about your future - where would you like to see yourself in a few years time - now is an opportunity to expand your knowledge- so maybe one of your units could provide this challenge for you.

Thank you both. I think I would like to get into counselling in the future so I'll have a look and see if there's anything that may help with that. Thanks again.
