With increasing demands and higher standards for child care facilities, there is a growing demand for dedicated professionals with the right education, skills and qualifications to not only look after children, but help guide their development during those crucial formative years.

These child care courses online lead to nationally recognised certificate and diploma qualifications. The legal minimum qualification requirement varies from state to state and role to role; for example, most states require a room supervisor or a senior manager to have a minimum of a Diploma. Most courses include practical experience opportunities, so you’ll be able to practice what you’ve learned.

Many parents are now taking an active role in their children’s education. Many donate their time to assisting the teacher in an assistant teacher’s or teacher's aide role. They come to the school when they have the time and make a valuable contribution to their child’s education. Now a more formal way of providing this service has resulted in the creation of a new qualification that provides the skills to be a teacher’s aide or a teaching assistant in a community setting.
