Step into Childcare Success
Twelve participants have successfully completed the Moray SWAP Step into Childcare course, gaining practical skills, recognised qualifications and valuable insight into careers in childcare.
Congratulations to the twelve participants who successfully completed the Moray SWAP
Step into Childcare course at UHI Moray. All twelve people who started the course completed it, marking a fantastic achievement and reflecting the enthusiasm and commitment shown throughout the programme.
Over 14 days, participants gained valuable knowledge, practical skills and recognised qualifications to help prepare them for a future in the childcare sector. The course included Childcare First Aid certification, REHIS Elementary Food Hygiene, learning around child development, safeguarding, supporting children’s behaviour, and the importance of play and outdoor play.
A real highlight of the course was the opportunity to visit a range of childcare settings across Moray. These industry visits gave participants first-hand insight into the different career opportunities available and helped bring classroom learning to life by showcasing the variety of roles within the sector.
Designed to support people returning to learning or work, exploring a new career, or taking their first steps into childcare, the course aims to build confidence while providing practical experience and recognised qualifications.
We are delighted that every participant completed the course and wish them every success as they take their next steps.
Well done to everyone involved.
