Enrolment Guide
 
 
 

There is a range of qualifications relevant to the early childhood profession and each one represents a stepping-stone in your career pathway.

In Australia there are a variety of early childhood settings available including family day care, outside-school-hours care, and long day care centres.

Whilst each state of Australia has it's own childcare regulations, the focus on qualified early childhood professionals is paramount. This focus supports the development of the profession and enables Carers to take advantage of the many career opportunities available.

At National Institute of Early Childhood Education we place an emphasis on flexibility in training delivery and assessment. We recognise that students are busy people with busy lives but also with study and career goals. With that in mind, we can deliver training and assessment services in a variety of styles, including full time classes, external study (with workbooks and workshops to support you), traineeships and apprenticeships.
