​Dear Service Provider,

 

AIM Level 1 applications for existing graduates will open on the Early Years Hive on Tuesday, 22 July 2025. The AIM Level 1 application supports the increased ECCE capitation, funded by DCDE in recognition of the leadership and mentoring role which is delivered by the Inclusion Co-ordinator during the 2025/2026 pre-school year.

 

Please note AIM Level 1 is an annual application process. 

 

AIM Level 1 application guidelines can be found here. Prior to submitting the AIM Level 1 application, service providers must ensure that they have completed their ECCE programme readiness steps and activated the ECCE funding agreement.

 

New graduates (i.e. graduating in October 2025) can apply when final exam results have been notified by Mary Immaculate College (expected September 2025).

 

Should you have any queries in relation to the AIM Level 1 application process, please contact the Early Years Provider Centre (EYPC) by raising a request using the following categories:

 

  • Programme: AIM Level 1
  • Request type: Application
  • Request type detail: How To

Regards,
The Early Years Team
