"Working with the market leader in early years education for over 20 years now, I have always found that CACHE qualifications ensure teaching staff members are vocationally competent.
"There are training opportunities offered, so that new innovations and understanding are cascaded to experienced lecturers – this has helped develop my skills and knowledge over this time. I can honestly say that CACHE qualifications are the most robust, where standards are clearly set and expectations remain high. This encourages good practice for all, with new qualifications that are time and situation responsive, enabling colleges to develop their range of provision offered to the workforce.”
Josephine Orme, Early Years Lecturer at Truro and Penwith College
