Camau is a Welsh language course bespoke to the early years and childcare sector.

There are 10 units to each course, after completing a course there is room for progression. The 10th unit of each course has a quiz which is a recap of the previous 9 units, after completing the quiz you will receive a certificate at the end of the month. It will take roughly 20 hours to complete each course and you have 10 weeks to complete the 10 units from the date you enrolled. Mynediad 1 (entry 1) is basic Welsh such as colours, numbers, pronunciations, and greetings. Mynediad 2 is more setting-based Welsh with Mynediad 3 being more advanced.
