Early Childhood Education
Are you interested in working with children, nannying, getting a degree or working in an early childhood centre?
This one year course not only allows an opportunity to get ahead without the costs but incorporates gaining University Entrance and a National Certificate. This course is unique in this aspect.
Part-time courses are also offered for students with children, work or other commitments.
Experience a supervised practicum one day a week at two selected early childhood centres putting theory into practice. Hagley offers a very low cost opportunity to gain these qualifications where we believe the cost should not become a barrier to your education.
