Re: Assessment for provider approval and HELP!

I have found this forum helpful over the last year whilst preparing for my provider approval and I have been lurking here. Based in WA - I failed the first time, second time and just got my approval the third time.
First time I prepared using the joined up practice test, only to be shocked by the indepth nature and reference to regulations. Second time I was all over the place reading the regulations, the law, NQF framework etc
Through this forum Lorina mentioned a business called Platinum Education (https://www.platinumed.com.au/) - wasn't really sure what to expect but was worried (more desperate) failing 3rd time - this was the best thing I did - my background is in finance and business law but no experience in childcare so that was a challenge. Leeza at Platinum Education was very good. About 9 hours of video and a practice test. I found it helpful the way the training was structured and the practice tests - this enabled me to prepare in the right way (this was the key - the second time I was trying to go through more than 1,000 pages).
Third time I completed the exam with two minutes remaining - because I was able to answer the easy questions faster and checking the regulations. I am sharing this because perhaps if I knew this earlier it may have helped.
Thanks all for your help and happy to answer any questions, and best of luck to those preparing.
