Dear Colleagues,

My name is Aaron Bradbury, and I am currently beginning the research field work phase of my Professional Doctorate at the University of Derby.

My proposed research title is: An exploration between pedagogy and work-based learning through a lens of student led approaches within an Early Childhood Apprenticeship and a Vocational Early Childhood Degree programme.

I am emailing you at this stage to scope out my research and to see who might be planning to deliver the Level 5 Early Years Leader Apprenticeship either this academic 2020/2021 or the next academic year 2021/2022.

I am interested in how many Institutions that already offer Early Childhood related degree programmes are also going to offer the apprenticeship Early Years Leader level 5. So, if you could answer the Poll below, which is a Yes and No question. There isn’t any other data needed from yourselves at this moment in time.

Poll Question:
Will you be validating the Level 5 Early Years Leader Apprenticeship? (View/vote in browser)

If you would like to be part of my research study or want to know more about it, then please do get in touch with me via the (email below), as I will be looking for participants in the new academic year, September 2021 – July 2022.

Kind Regards

Aaron Bradbury
