Hi, I am just coming to the end of doing the Diploma on a Distance Learning course and yes it is based on the NVQ but you have to go into alot more detail and is harder than the NVQ but I think thats a good thing as it makes you think outside the box. I worked in a school as a TA before doing this course and now work in a pre-school and have found both the settings really useful for the course.
I have paid for this myself, but dont understand why you cant be funded for the NVQ thats madness. If you do have to fund yourself then look at distance learning as I paid for mine in installments which has helped.
Sammy - with regard to books there are plenty of books out there to read, but just reading them and quoting them in your course work is not going to give you the knowledge that you need alone. I would be losts without the books that I have used including the Penny Tassoni, and Miriam Walker CCLD books but you need to have a clear understanding of what you have learnt and show that in your answers.
