Our code of practice and training and assessment programs are designed for, students who are currently working in the field in which they intend to train. Therefore all our students are working in Nationally Regulated Children's Services, If you do not currently work in a Service and you would like to complete a qualification, it is important to contact us to discuss if our programs are right for you. 

Choosing your preferred Registered Training Organisation (RTO) is an important process.  This RTO will support and guide you through your chosen qualification.  Fair Trading NSW has published on their website some recommendations for potential students to undertake before choosing their RTO.  We recommend all students to go through these recommendations before they decide they are ready to enrol.  Please read these recommendations here.
