PEAL celebrates City and Guilds accreditation with successful candidates

On Friday 26th September 2008, over 20 successful candidates joined their assessors and the PEAL team in celebrating their success at obtaining their accreditation for the PEAL training.  Candidates undertook the training between September 2007 and March 2008 and worked on their portfolios until the final submission date in June this year.

“This event further highlights the value of encouraging and developing parental involvement in children's early learning,” said Keith Phillips Associate Lead Trainer of the PEAL Project, “and we are delighted to welcome recipients from across the country to celebrate their achievements.”

The afternoon started with a lunch and informal gathering, which then lead to group discussions and the presentation of the certificates.

The certificates were presented to the successful candidates by Dwynwen Stepien, Director of the Early Childhood Unit at the National Children's Bureau.

Before candidates were presented with their certificates, they were encouraged to participate in group discussions along with assessors, to explore how Unit 16 supported learning and contributed to best practice.
