Welcome to the 

Child-Focused Training Centre

The Child-Focused Training Centre (CFTC) develops specialist professional qualifications for nannies, governesses and childcare practitioners. 

Our courses are written by experienced childcare professionals and combine current best practice with real-life workplace examples, enabling practitioners to develop the professional judgement and confidence required to succeed in private households.

The courses bridge the gap between academic study and the practical expectations of private households, enabling childcare professionals to demonstrate specialist competencies that, until now, have been difficult to define or formally recognise. 

Designed to be affordable these courses provide an additional level of specialism alongside your formal academic qualifications.

Whether you're building your career or strengthening your CV, our courses help you stand out to Private household employers.

Develop the standards. Prove the skills. Advance your career.
