Focus on… EYA Central member benefits

We’re so pleased that so many early educators are enjoying our new one-stop shop for early years training and resources: EYA Central.

With a range of virtual learning opportunities, from Virtual Classrooms to Insights, mini-guides to Toolkits, EYA Central is a must-visit hub for anyone working in the early years and looking to support their professional development.

But did you know that as an Alliance member, alongside substantial discounts on our training and resources, you also benefit from the following fantastic benefits..?

Alliance members have exclusive access to EYA Central's 'account administration' mode, which allows managers and other organisation leaders to support and manage their staff's learning on the platform by:

• booking staff onto virtual learning events
• purchasing and accessing resources on behalf of staff members
  
• accessing the 'management dashboard' for an overview of staff training bookings and resource purchases.
  

For more information on how to access these great benefits, you can watch our handy YouTube video at bit.ly/EYACstafflearning.

Created using the combined knowledge of all Alliance experts, our EYA Learn modules include updated content previously available on EduCare, and newly-developed learning content.

EYA Learn offers flexible, comprehensive learning delivered at a pace that suits you, allowing you to access CPD at a convenient time for you. All EYA Learn modules support best practice and EYFS compliance, and Alliance members get EYA Learn access for up to 30 staff members (dependent on membership type) completely free.

Early Years Metaverse is our new series of immersive, virtual-reality learning modules available to Alliance members on EYA Central, where users can immerse themselves in our virtual reality early years setting and family hub, Tiny Trees, and complete tasks as if they were really in the setting environment!

Each scenario includes multiple choice question-and-answer sections to help support your learning, and as with all of our other CPD resources and products, the Metaverse scenarios are on their way to being CPD-certified in the coming months!

The topics covered by our brand-new scenarios, currently in development, are:

• Supporting children’s smooth transitions
• Speech, language and communication
  
• Confidentiality and information sharing
  
• Hygiene and infection control.
