Bachelor of ECT vs Diploma
Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2018 11:06 pm
Hi everyone,
I am considering to continue my education in childcare.
There are 2 options for me:
1. Bach. degree - which will take me around 2 years full-time as I've already possessed a degree qualification from another field. (Higher cost)
2. Diploma - 1.5 years to complete full-time. (Lower cost, slightly less time to complete and can work with babies and toddlers).
Relevant qualification in childcare:
Cert 3.
My consideration:
(A.) The different teaching style between Uni and Tafe:
1. Will I miss the practical aspect of the education if I just go and study the degree straight away?
2. Does the Master of Teaching focus a lot on research and the academic aspect?
(B.) Opportunities presented with the different qualification:
1. I am interested in working with older children, but also toddlers, I feel like if I have a Diploma, I am more likely to be in different rooms, which I would prefer to gain experiences.
I am hoping someone who has done both, which I believe a lot of you have
can give me insights on this question
Thank you
