Aussie Childcare Network Forum

Hi,

Greetings for the day!!!!!

We came to Australia 7 months ago ; I am a software engineer by profession and a permanent resident.
Since I have a keen desire to work with and for kids I got myself enrolled for Diploma course in Early Childcare from Elite Training Institute
here in Melbourne. I have classes for 2 days Sunday and Monday. I am interested in doing a childcare job while pursuing my studies .

I came to know that we can get a childcare job while doing a cert III but while doing Diploma either we should have completed cert III modules or 30% of the modules. So just wanted to check if that information is correct and if yes then how much time it would take to complete 30% of the course.

Since doing a job and that too in childcare is an absolute necessity for me so please advice shall I go for a Cert III and later pursue Diploma.Also which have higher job prospects Cert III or Diploma?

Also if anyone can give some reviews about Elite Training Institute.

Thanks and Regards,
Nidhi Sharma
