WORK BASED NURSERY TRAINING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
In 1992 JACE (Joint Assessment Centre for Child Care and Education) became the first Assessment Centre in South East England to be approved by the Joint Awarding Bodies (JAB's) (i.e. City & Guilds & Central Council for Education of Training & Social Workers) to both train and assess people for all the new Child Care & Education qualifications. Each of the child care settings has a peripatetic assessor attached to help guide and support you through the NVQ system. All our training staff are vocational assessors as well as trainers/coaches and each trainee has his/her own personal assessor/advisor.
Career Opportunities
At the end of training trainees gain employment in the following child care fields. Nursery Nurse in Private Day Nurseries Nursery Nurse in Private Schools Nursery Nurse in local authority nursery classes Nursery Assistant in reception classes of local authority schools Nanny in private homes Childminders (after registration with local authorities) Nannies abroad Kiddie Reps at home and abroad with holiday firms. Air Hostesses. Playgroup Assistants Assistant at special needs centres Trainees have also gained employment in the health service and police force in the community care sections.

Entry Qualifications
There are no formal qualifications necessary for entry to the scheme Young people wishing to join the scheme should have patience, tolerance, a sense of humour, and be very responsible and perceptive to the needs of children. Learners must be prepared to work hard and understand the importance of the job they are doing. Learners who do not keep up to date with their training plan will be asked to leave.
Status
All young people are contracted as learners whilst on the scheme. There is no employed status for learners under 18 years of age or who have not gained Early Years Care & Education NVQ Level 2. In certain cases if learners shows aptitude, reliability, responsibility and ability and there is a vacancy, a learner may be given employed status whilst training towards level 3.
Special Needs
We take a small number of learners with learning difficulties and according to their individual needs a modified caring programme is followed. Employment cannot be guaranteed.
NVQ's in Early Years Care & Education
	National Vocational Qualifications in Early Years Care & Education primarily assess competence in the workplace and check a persons knowledge and understanding via a variety of evidence gathering methods. Learners are given an assessment plan which explains work to be assessed within the workplace and extra work that has to be gathered together and presented in a portfolio. For level 2 there are 8 core units and 2 endorsements from a choice of 5 units. When a learner has completed level 2 there is the opportunity to move on to level 3 as an Advanced Modern Apprentice provided previous targets were gained on time.
Further Qualifications

Jace is also an Approved Assessment Centre registered to train and assess persons in NVQ Key Skills levels 1-5, NVQ Customer Service levels 2-4, NVQ Playwork levels 2-4, Practical Caring Skills, Word Power and Number Power, First Aid and Food Hygiene.
