About our Skills Bootcamp:

Shoots Training are proud to offer a 7 week programme consisting of live online group learning, 1-1 support from a dedicated team of Trainers, weekly placement with a local Early Years setting, support with your DBS application and a full and relevant Paediatric First Aid certificate.

You will spend one day a week on a placement with a local Nursery where you get the opportunity to test your practical skills and begin to form relationships with what will hopefully become the setting for your Level 3 Early Years Educator apprenticeship.


All taught sessions will be online, and you will need to attend an in-person First Aid training day.
