Course Information
Demand for childcare is on the rise in Australia, with population forecasts estimating there will be 2.2 million children aged under 5 years in Australia by 2031, and 2.6 million by 2051. This population growth is driving increasing demand for early childhood educators. Up to 50% of workers in regulated early childhood education and care centres are Certificate III qualified early childhood educators. The Australian Skills Priority List identifies this as a profession with a current worker shortage and strong future demand.

This nationally recognised qualification is for those that want to work as an educator in any licensed centre-based service such as long daycare, preschool, kindergarten, or family daycare.
