Early Years Online Training Courses
The Health, Care and Education Academy now runs three online CACHE courses in early years training. At present they are run with students in the Middle East with the co-operation of the British Council in Kuwait.
The Council for Awards in Children's Care and Education (CACHE) is the largest qualifying authority for childcare qualifications in the United Kingdom. It deals solely with childcare qualifications and runs Level 1, 2, 3 and 4 courses throughout Britain and the world. The early years courses run online by the college are all CACHE courses.

Students on all online courses need access to a computer with word processing and internet facilities. They also need good English writing skills.

What Our Students Have Said…
Wendy Wei, China
Coming to England from China to continue my education has been one of the best things I have ever done. It takes a little getting used to at first, with the differences in culture, language and lifestyle, but Bournemouth is such a multi-national place now that it doesn’t take long to make new friends as well as meeting people from your own country.
The College does everything it can to make you feel welcome, from setting you up with a host family to making sure you are coping with the College environment. If you need extra help with the language then this can be arranged for you - you only have to ask!
There is a good mixture of ages and nationalities at The College which makes it an exciting place to study. The tutors offer support whenever you need it and the staff in the International office are riendly and approachable. They want you to feel as if you belong and this has really given me the confidence to do well at my studies.
I have made many good friends through The College and I shall look back fondly at my time here."
Wendy is now studying Economics at Warwick University after having completed her A levels at The College.
