Become a childcare assistant with a non-EU diploma

Proposed by JRS France Updated on день тому

Childcare assistants accompany children in daycare, maternity wards and hospitals.

They contribute to the awakening and well-being of the youngest children for their development. They also participate in supporting parents.

If you obtained a childcare assistant diploma or a diploma in early childhood care outside the European Union, you cannot practice in France.

If you have experience in this field, you can have your professional experience validated. To do so, you must have worked for at least one year in the areas of childcare, comfort, and hygiene. Please note: this process can take several months.
You will find all the information on the diploma sheet on the VAE (Validation of Acquired Experience) website.
You can also start by working in the medical-social sector while you are doing your VAE.

In other situations, you must follow the French training to obtain the State Diploma of Childcare Assistant (DEAP).

How to do it?

You can search for training on the France Travail website.

Search for "childcare assistant" and enter your city or region. Use the filters to view current or upcoming training courses and apprenticeship programs.

On each course's page , you can find the name and contact information of the institution. Also, consult its website for admission requirements and application deadlines.

The training takes place in a childcare assistant training institute (IFAP).
