ICP course - how difficult?

[sandra79]

:)Hi everyone,

My ICP course starts soon and I was wondering how difficult you found it and was the exam quite easy as I did the example on the ofsted website and even though I haven't even started the course I managed to get 17 correct out of 25 which would have mean't that I would have failed. hehehe!!
But some of the questions on there were really quite difficult, even though it was multiple choice. I hope my trainer is good and I don't sit too far at the back as then I start to daydream and lose concentration I always seem to do that sometimes for some reason???

Thanks everyone, Sandra

I read through the section in the DHC book by Sheila Riddel-Leech on the train to the exam and got 100% - so can't be that hard!

I do that as well. I went to an 'I can, You can' course last night about the DDA and inclusion and I didn't hear hardly any of it because my mind just wandered off and I didn't realise until it was too late!!!

Never mind ey!

The course is boring lol but we were told that you can resit the exam twice and if you don't pass you still get a certificate of attendence which is all you need to register with ofsted.

As previously said the exam is not hard but the course is boring!!! I too tried the test on the website before the course and didn't get enough to pass but after the course passed the exam no problem (as did my husband and he was only able to attend about half the sessions!!!)

My best piece of advice would be think like a childcare professional and not a mum - that's where I went wrong initially.

We too were advised we had two "funded" attempts to pass the exam and then would have to pay for anymore re-takes.
