Child Psychology Course
A Distance Learning Diploma Course of 12 Lessons
Child psychology studies the social, mental and emotional development of children from babies’ right through to adolescence. This course has been specially designed and prepared to help meet the needs of adults that are responsible for the care and development of children; including parents, teachers, nurses, child minders, doctors, social workers and all adults involved with children. It provides a comprehensive introduction into child psychology, and students will find it immensely useful to support any existing qualifications they may hold in child care or other child related subjects.
Please note: You cannot claim to be a “Child Psychologist” with a diploma level qualification, but you will find it immensely useful to support any existing qualifications you may hold in Child Care, or other child related subjects.
This subject is complemented by our Child & Adolescent Nutrition Course.

Which distance learning study method should you choose?
Self Study: The self-study option is a faster method of study for those who feel they may not need that support. The Self Study team review each part of your course, rather than lesson by lesson, and the team will assess your work and inform you if you are making serious errors. You will not receive feedback on your work, and you may be asked to repeat an answer paper which does not reach our threshold of acceptance.
Tutored: The tutor option is for students who would like feedback on their work and who may require more support in their studies. Our dedicated Tutor Team will review your work lesson by lesson and give you feedback, where required. You can ask questions, and the team can guide you to success by helping you navigate the course material.
