As a Modern Apprentice you would undertake a Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) in Social

Training delivers a comprehensive induction to the relevant SVQ course and provides a series of
training days to covering a range of topics such as positive behavior, emotional wellbeing and child
protection. These are held in central Edinburgh. PA Training staff also visit students, at the
nursery in which they are employed, to oversee their training and to help them complete their
SVQ portfolio.

Candidates should have achieved a number of National 4 qualifications including English. Strong
communication skills and the ability to be able to work as part of a team are also needed. No
previous experience with children necessary, but is helpful.
