To begin working as an early childhood educator, you need a Certificate III in Early Childhood care and/or Children’s services.
The Certificate III course will provide you the necessary skills, information, and training – such as child interaction, child care, child safety, first aid, child development, legal frameworks, etc.
If you wish to take on the role of Campus Manager or Coordinator, you will need to also obtain a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care. You must have a Certificate III before you can study the Diploma.
Courses can be taken through a VET provider, TAFE, or through an on-the-job traineeship.
