We have some of the best training facilities and utilise a variety of learning techniques that will help you to learn more easily in a fun, stimulating and interactive environment. All training is delivered in an adult learning environment so you’ll get to experience what it’s like to study in a higher education setting.
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.

Why choose ACCCO for education and training?
With over 22 years’ experience, ACCCO has established strong relationships with schools and maintains close links to industry enabling us to deliver in-demand skills and up-to-date and relevant training.
ACCCO is consistently receiving positive feedback from School VET Teachers. The recurring feedback from VET teachers was, they are enjoying not having to develop all the learning and assessment materials under the new version of the training package including Sustainability, Early Years Learning Framework and the National Work Health and Safety. ACCCO provides all VET classes with class presentations, template unit workbooks and access to text books for each unit in PDF format.
Schools are also enjoying the relationships with the ACCCO Trainer Assessors and National VET Coordinator who maintains the consistency of training, assessment and providing support.
The most positive feedback is out in the field with Early Childhood Services noticing an improvement in the quality of training by the
Schools who have moved over to ACCCO.
