Course overview

From 2016, changes in regulations lowered the child to carer ratio and with the child population (those under 13 years of age) rate projected to rise by 23%, its forecast that around 113,000 additional full-time places in formal child care will be required.

A combination of factors has resulted in growth within the Childcare sector, this also has created more opportunities for employment. To obtain employment in childcare, Australian law now requires as a minimum you must hold or be actively working towards your Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care.

Testimonials

  • I have just finished cert III child care at Kirana College in Rockingham. At first I was doing the course at West Perth with Susan Moustaka I enjoyed the study with Susan she was very kind, professional and supportive, sadly we had to move because the west Perth class was closing down. then I moved to Morley but I only attended twice there then I decided to move to Rockingham instead. In Rockingham, I met Sara Parker. I was so glad to have Sara Parker as my lecturer. She made me feel comfortable because she always being respectful and non-bias.
    if I want to continue to diploma, I definitely will go to Kirana college again and ask for Sara Parker to be my lecture
