Childcare Services

Courses Offered:

Childcare is a very rewarding and in-demand job across the world. Throughout the course, students will learn both theoretical and practical aspects of childcare, thus preparing them for work in the Childcare industry.

Not only will students learn new and innovative teaching methodologies, students studying childcare will receive placements at nearby childcare centres and receive real work experience. They will be able to interact with children and observe and learn from qualified employees.

The minimum level of study is a Certificate III in Child’s Services. This will allow students to work as a staff assistant at childcare centres across Australia. However, students who study a Diploma or Advanced Diploma of Childcare will be allowed to fill higher lever/supervisor positions at childcare centres, or continue to pursue a university degree in education or community services at university.

Because of the hands on nature of the course, any student that wishes to enroll must first apply to obtain an Australian Blue Card. The Australian Blue Card is issued by the Australian Government and allows the card-holder to be in contact with children. Pathway to Aus will assist any of its clients in obtaining the card.
