The HBCA course is made up of two units with three work plans linked to the e-platform learning resources and webinars. All learners complete Unit 1 and then choose whether to do Unit 2 if aiming to be a childminder, or Unit 3 if aiming to become a nanny. In order to give you the best start to your research and childminding career, your course will include three months’ free PACEY student membership as well as the support of your expert assessor.

  • Registration requirements

Unit three explores the role of the nanny. Areas covered are:

Free added benefits

  • When you study the HBCA course with The Childcare Company, you’ll get three months’ free PACEY membership. This means that as well as access to a host of member benefits, you’ll have all the support you need. This includes not only to access the materials that will help you complete your HBCA course, but that will help you to set up your childminding business as well.

Please note:

  • The HBCA is an e-learning course completed online so you will need access to a computer, and some basic skills, to complete the course. It is designed to be flexible and to allow you to combine a qualification whilst balancing work commitments and family life. You can view your training on or off line on an Apple or Android handheld device (phone or tablet) but you will need access to a PC or laptop in order to upload your written assignments to the e-learning platform.
