Studying the Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care at Holmesglen
The partial completion of the Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care is a VET Delivered to Secondary Students (VETDSS) course that can only be completed as part of a VCE or VCE VM program.
Through the combination of face-to-face, online and practical learning, you will acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to work effectively as a professional team member in an early childhood service.
These skills include gaining an understanding of legal and ethical requirements, engaging with young children and their families, facilitating children's leisure and play, and fostering holistic development and wellbeing.
The course will be delivered through a mixture of online activities, classroom delivery and simulated Early Learning Centre environment.
The two years' part time study through the VET Delivered to Secondary Students program will give you an opportunity to continue your studies in the Early Childhood Education field.
