Leading early years membership organisation the Early Years Alliance has today launched EYA Central, a one-stop-shop for Alliance resources and training.  

EYA Central (available at central.eyalliance.org.uk) replaces both the Alliance Shop and the online training and networking events portal and provides a comprehensive selection of learning and development opportunities and resources to support CPD across the sector. 

The new digital hub will give providers easy access to the Alliance’s online training courses including Virtual Classrooms, Connects and Insights, as well as the organisation’s Spotlight Collections which offers bite-sized CPD presentations on a range of topics. Providers can also access digital publications and publications records, including the Alliance’s Daily Register and Outings Record and Accident Record. 

In addition, Alliance members can benefit from a range of new resources and tools including access to brand new training and CPD opportunities and free access to EYA Learn, the Alliance’s new suite of accredited online learning modules, as well as a comprehensive range of digital mini-guides – plus new and exciting functionalities to support the simple management and oversight of staff’s individual learning journeys 

In just a few weeks, providers will also be able to access new groundbreaking immersive virtual reality learning modules, which will be free to Alliance members, via the EYA Central platform.  

Commenting, Neil Leitch, CEO of the Early Years Alliance, said:  

“EYA Central contains everything early years professionals need to support their learning and development.  

“Regardless of which part of the early years sector you work in, EYA Central will not only support you throughout your career but it will change the way your setting approaches CPD through its wide range of learning opportunities, tools and resources.  

“Whether you are looking to join a live, virtual session, purchase a new publication or interactive resource, work through our fantastic new EYA Learn modules or immerse yourself with our new virtual reality courses, EYA Central is set to become the must-visit one-stop-shop for settings across the sector.”  

Alliance members and recent Portal users have already been pre-registered for the new platform and will have received an email inviting them to complete the process and register for EYA Central. For anyone not pre-registered, signing up is still quick and easy at central.eyalliance.org.uk.
