Step into the Future with Education and Child Care

With an increase in the national birth rate and an ever-increasing number of families with both parents working, community reliance on child care services has been on the rise for years; and government figures show that this increase isn't expected to slow down any time soon. More and more people want - and need - high-quality, trustworthy and convenient childcare options.

As governments work to make child care more affordable, certified workers in the field are finding lots of opportunities to make a positive and meaningful contribution to the lives of the youngest among us. Working in child care can be a truly rewarding experience; allowing people with a special affinity with kids to really shine.

With flexible study options and strong employment prospects, the Certificate III in Children's Services is the most recognised qualification for entry into this booming profession.

The Educational Workforce

I love spending time with children, but I had no background in child care. Now that I'm actually working in a centre, I look back at the course modules and can see how well it relates to what I'm doing now.
