and participants can earn their Certificate III in Early Childhood Education
and Care and gain the skills to respond confidently to an emergency in an
education or care setting.
Importantly, program participants are guaranteed work experience in well-
established, highly regarded childcare and early development centres, furthering
their potential to secure employment in this personally rewarding sector.
The most recent set of new graduates received their qualifications at a
ceremony held on 21 February 2019 at the Playford Alive Uniting Church.
“My grandpa... was so happy when I told him I was taking on the challenge
of this course,” said new graduate Kathy Becker in a heartfelt speech to guests.
“He told me this is what he felt I was always meant to do... I now know he
was spot on.”
A key aspect of the course is the weekly combination of theory and practical
placement, giving students the chance to understand the fundamentals and
then apply them in a real-life environment.
With the demand for quality childcare increasing across the country, skills and
recognised qualifications in this growing industry are not only highly sought after,
but are wonderfully transferable, not just in Australia but across the globe.
Prospective applicants for the program must attend a pre-course information
session – the next being on 25 July in preparation for an August start.
