Gain the skills you need to provide quality education to children If you love working with children and want to learn more about providing quality education and care in a range of environments, this course is for you. The Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care can provide entry level job opportunities in home, centre, or school-based environments, but many students go on to study higher level courses before gaining employment. You’ll learn practical skills in areas such as first aid, work health and safety (WHS) processes, effective interaction with children, nutritional food provision, childhood development, sustainable practices, appropriate care for babies and children up to 12 years, and responding to young people at risk. Experienced teachers, who are experts in the field, will guide you through the program, which can be delivered in a variety of ways to fit in with your work or lifestyle. This nationally recognised qualification may lead to employment in roles such as kindergarten assistant, school aged-care assistant, nanny, family day care carer or early childhood educator assistant. The course can be completed full time over six months. Once complete, you can extend your skills by studying Chisholm’s Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care (CHC50113).
