Structured classroom learning

All classes are delivered by qualified, industry experienced Trainer Assessors who work closely with students to optimise their learning experience. We simulate activities and tasks that are required to be performed within the workplace so that students gain confidence before working in an early education centre or service.

Students attend class one day per week at the college, as well as attend an ACECQA approved service to receive practical training and experience. Vocational placement hours are in addition to theory class attendance and are usually completed in shool holidays. A current working with children check is required for work placement when you are 18 years of age. 

What can I study with ACCCO?

• Early childhood education and care (children aged 0-5 years)

Early childhood education involves caring for and teaching children under the age of five to enhance their development.
Through the Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care, you will be introduced to working in the field of early childhood. It is the minimum qualification to gain employment in ACECQA approved early childhood services and often the qualification studied for those wanting to begin their career in early childhood education.
