Emma Burt
What did you do before coming to the UCY?
I was a Pre-school leader at a small setting in Bridport
What do you do now?
I'm still in the same job and currently in the second year of study for the Foundation degree in Early Years.
What do you most like about your course?
The UCY is very friendly with supportive staff; it's also convenient as it's relatively close to home.
The
course has provided me with a much deeper understanding of children's
learning and development that, in turn, has led me to analyse and
improve my practice in the workplace.
That sounds a little
stilted but it really is true! I'm far more confident about my
practice and feel able to back up my actions with explanations.
What have you found most challenging during your course?
Trying
to fit study and assignments in around family, work and other
commitments - just about manageable most of the time until something
goes wrong!
What would you say to potential students?
There
will never be a "right time" so seize your opportunity to do this
course while it is right on your doorstep - you won't regret it.
