You can become a Director through a Diploma qualification, although since the necessity of having an ECT within a centre now I often see that an ECT is also the role of a Director. This is mainly due to the fact that the ECT only has to do a certain amount of ECT hours in the preschool room depending on a number of children so it's easier to combine an ECT with a Director role. This doesn't mean that all centres will adopt this method, it's just what I've seen at some centres...
