Early childhood education and care is an immensely satisfying career and a precious opportunity to give children the very best start in life.
In 12 months (1 year), our Graduate Diploma of Education (Early Childhood) will effectively prepare you to work in early childhood education and care settings, long day care centres, kindergartens, and preschools.
Our course covers key areas of early childhood education and care, theory, principles, and practices that best support children’s learning and development. Admission into the course is via an undergraduate degree in any discipline, including a teaching qualification OR a completed Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care (AQF5 or above), and a minimum of five years' relevant work experience (undertaken within the last seven years) in an Australian early childhood education and care setting with related leadership responsibilities.
