There are so many institutes available where you can complete your diploma through distance learning. Some of these include:
1) Seek Learning
2) Australian Institute of Early Childhood Studies
3) Early Years Training
Have you thought about doing this at TAFE? I think this course is still funded by government when you do it through TAFE but if you were looking at doing it through a private institute it will cost more.
Hey Just thought I would add in I am doing my Diploma over the internet while I live overseas. I am doing it throught the AIECS (Australian Institute of Early Childhood Studies) They are very good I am enjoying doing my diploma through them!:)
Thanks Macoola. I had contacted OTEN but unfortunately Diploma in Children’s is full for 2012 enrolments. They will not be offering the course again until the end of the year
Oh sorry to hear Samyoyo I am not sure if AIECS is still enroling but you could ask. Although they are a bit more expensive that Tafe I can do it from overseas with them and it is the cheapest I could find out off all the colleges!!
Hi there, I am doing mine through my local Tafe. Its a 18 month online full time course and its govt funded so only paying the tafe yearly fee which is about $40 or $50. Its great!! really managable. We have 2 x 1 hr online classes a week and lots of support. Ring your local Tafe.
