Can you become a childcare assistant with no experience?

Yes, you can! You don’t need any previous experience of working with children to become a childcare assistant with an Aspiration Training childcare apprenticeship or traineeship.

  • Have you babysat for younger brothers and sisters?
  • Or cared for your family?
  • Or volunteered at a youth club or community centre?

If so, you have been put in a position of responsibility looking after children before. That’s life experience, even if you did not get paid for it! If you tell Aspiration Training about it when you apply for a childcare apprenticeship or traineeship, it could help your application.
