hi i was just wondering if you are able to find a job while studying cert 3.
i was hoping to be able to try and find a job while i continue to complete my cert 3.
it would help me to complete my assignments and to also learn as i go.
where would be the best place to find a job.
i am living in nsw.

Yes, you can. If you have proof you are actively working towards completing it, you are eligible for work. By doing this, you could apply for RPL (recognition of prior learning) so your work covers work placement/experience.

You can find work as a nanny, run a fdc in your own home, preschool, long day care, playgroup.

Depends on where in nsw, there are ones in sydney, southern highlands and also bang in the middle of nsw too! There are lots of opportunities, so just look one up and see if they are hiring! Make sure you apply for a working with children check first!

Regards,
Jess.

not sure on where else to try.
