In order to enter in Childcare as a Childcare Practitioner, each learner would need to complete the QQI Level 5 Childcare Major Award. This award is crucial to understanding the basics of providing quality childcare. QQI Childcare Level 5 is the first stepping-stone to understanding and experiencing the legislations, policies and procedures needed to provide quality care. This award will allow you to work as a Room Assistant in any early years setting across Ireland. This position also allows for growth and progression that then leads onto obtaining a QQI Level 6 in Childcare.
