Is it right for you?
NTT places more weight than pre-primary training on care routines, health, hygiene, nutrition and child protection, alongside early learning theory. It suits learners who want to work with babies and toddlers or in day-care as well as nursery classes.
How it relates to pre-primary teacher training
Pre-primary teacher training covers teaching children aged about 2 to 6 in nursery, LKG and UKG. Many learners combine it with nursery teacher training or choose between them. Compare all courses.
