Weekly webinars will be hosted by a trainer/assessor and will be conducted as interactive sessions. The webinar will be hosted on Google Hangouts or GoToMeeting. Webinar content will then be posted on the ACSE website.

Course Duration

  • The duration of the course is 12 months self-paced, including all learning and assessment activities. However, it is anticipated that the course length will vary with regard to individual client’s level of expertise and time dedicated to study.

The worst CPR program I have ever attended. Other than the slide show there wasn't anything. The whole session was finished within 30 minutes. Absolutely disgraceful as CPR is very vital to the... services. I had to refresh again by going through the first aid book.read more

I am currently engaged in Cert III Child Care and the institution is very supportive to the students. The course work delivery and timeliness is very good. The staff are helpful to the students and... very cooperative. I had to pause my studies for 6months due to maternity leave and the institution handled the return to leaning in a very supportive and smooth way. I am yet to secure internship placement at a child care centre and I am hopeful that the educators assist with me in near future. I would highly highly recommend this institution to any future students who want to set on this journey for caring for children.read more
