LETCEE'S TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT TEAM
NQF Level 4 Qualification
Elevate Tomorrow's Educators
LETCEE’s 18-month training program, now endorsed by QCTO as of February 2025, offers aspiring educators a comprehensive NQF Level 4 qualification. This certification is a gateway to uplifting entire communities by equipping graduates with the tools to make a lasting impact in early childhood settings.
- QCTO-accredited curriculum
- Hands-on practicum at local ECD centres
- Support: mentoring, peer networks, career guidance
While the transition to QCTO has increased costs and extended the program, LETCEE is determined to remove these barriers. Your sponsorship can empower more students to complete their training and bring quality education to children who need it most.
Sustainability in the Classroom
Applied Paper Technology (APT)
Our APT initiative transforms upcycled materials into vibrant learning aids, marrying eco-conscious practices with pedagogical innovation. By teaching ECD practitioners to repurpose waste, we foster green values alongside early learning.
Why APT?
- Reduces classroom waste by an estimated 40% per centre
- Upskills local staff, strengthening community economies
- Sparks creativity with hands-on, eco-friendly teaching tools
Key wins:
- Over 3,000 children learning about sustainable learning materials
- 120 ECD practitioners trained in upcycling techniques
- Partnerships formed with more than 50 pilot centres
Parenting Workshops
Building Strong Foundations
Effective parenting in the first 1,000 days lays the groundwork for lifelong success. LETCEE's interactive workshops guide mothers, fathers, and caregivers through nurturing, nutrition, emotional development, and creating stimulating home environments.
Key wins:
- Practical demonstrations on play-based learning
- Expert talks on child health and nutrition
- Resource kits to reinforce skills at home
By empowering parents, we boost family resilience and readiness for children's future academic journeys.
