on beths instagram story the location is somewhere in turkey is she on holiday with her dad and his girlfriend?
I was in college 3 days a week 9-4:30 doing level 3 childcare and had 2 days at placement. How she going to cope doing placements along with doing her assignments? Plus she'll have to apply for a DBS, though college should help with that (mine did).She’s in college two days a week and she’s seriously complaining about having to be there 9-5 with breaks, lunch and free periods. To the point where she “kind of wishes” she’d chosen the other college which was 9-1. This girl, I can’t cope

Probably will, it's how you gain the experience. I know she has Mabel which will help (I bet she'll say she has experience cause she has a child) but the placements help you with different aged children. I did 4 placements over the 2 year course (2 each year) and I did a placement in a baby/toddler room, a pre-school (where I've ended up working now) and a primary school. Be good for her to see what Mabel may be like at those ages though!I don’t think she’s even mentioned placements yet has she? She’ll probably claim she didn’t know she has to do them even though she’ll definitely have been told
I'm not surprised she's only going to do a year, though she only end with the certificate and not the diploma (if that's what she is doing, mine was a level 3 diploma in childcare). I think she can get a job (if she wants) with the certificate, I can't remember.When I did my health and social care course it was Wednesday - Friday full days with 2 days placement. No free periods. Personally I didn’t enjoy the course and dropped out after finishing the first year.
I reckon Mia won’t stick at it long, considering she’s only doing a year as well
Oh wow so you don’t think it’s good ? That’s a shame & 9-5 sounds horrible I did 4 a levels when I was in collage/6form and the hours were so so so much better than thatI have a feeling I know which college Mia is at, I think it may be the college that I went to straight out of school. The 9-5, no half terms, being in the middle of nowhere and not being 100% about the course is what ended up with me dropping out 6 months in. I really can’t see Mia lasting that long there, especially if it is the college I think it is
