Dear Service Provider,
AIM Level 5
The AIM Level 5 application process for 2023/24 is now open on the Early Years Hive, Friday 5 May 2023.
AIM Level 4 & 7
The processes for AIM Level 4 applications (expert early years educational advice and support) and Level 7 (additional assistance in the pre-school room) initial and extension applications for the 2023/24 pre-school year are now open on the Early Years Hive, Friday 5 May, 2023.
Please refer to the AIM Hive Guides to support you with the submission of your AIM applications.
