At SCMA, we recognise that it's sometimes better to learn in a group environment, where you can interact with colleagues, ask questions and share ideas to improve your knowledge and skills.

Our interactive courses give childminders the opportunity to learn interactively within a group setting. Our wide-range of courses are arranged in venues across Scotland, with our trained facilitators taking your through the course content and providing you with information and guidance.

With Learn with SCMA, childminders can choose to learn via interactive courses or our e-Learning courses. Both platforms cover the exact same content contained within each course, therefore the method of learning is entirely your decision - what will best suit your needs, location and circumstances?

The childminder’s preference always comes first - whether you prefer an interactive form of learning or a more flexible online approach - the choice of how you Learn with SCMA is yours.

SCMA offers childminders very high-quality learning programmes, that are equally valued by childminders across Scotland.  Our interactive learning courses offer the opportunity for childminders to come together, learn and share ideas in a stimulating environment.

“I enjoyed the interactive learning course; it was very informative and I learnt new things through group discussions. It made me aware of things I hadn't thought of before, and I was able to discuss these with others.”
