in a word , yes

the new level 3 has been bought in because the NVQ was producing staff who could do a practical job but had few academic skills, were low in literacy and numeracy and knew little about the theoretical side of childcare and development.
the new level 3 is excellent. there are over 20 assignments of between 1 and 3 thousand words plus 3 or 4 observations and 88% attendance in college.

it is producing far better staff more equipped to deal with the rigours of the modern early years practitioner and higher education.
you should go along to your local college and discuss it with them but soon my class is already enrolled for September

As tutu says Yes!

Go for it! I'm so glad I did my level 3 straight after completing my level 2. Yes there is a lot of work, but at the end of the day you will be a much better practitioner for gaining the extra knowledge. Do it - you won't regret it (well you may whilst you're doing it!!)
