Hi

I am in my mid 30's and am about to enrol into a Cert III in childcare. Due to previous studies, I am classified as a full fee student and as such, I cannot enrol into the TAFE courses as they are too expensive and I cannot afford them.

I have narrowed my search down to 2 institutions Gowrie Victoria and Practical Outcomes. Can anybody provide feedback on either course and/or can they nominate another course they would recommend?. I enrol in 2 week’s time

Thanks

Haven't studied through either however I've been looking into the two course providers you mentioned above. From the information I have read thus far:

Gowrie Victoria - $3200 included materials, texts and first aid certificate
Practical Outcomes - $3900 includes materials and texts and an extra $110 for first aid course

It's pretty expensive. Although if I were to choose between the two Gowrie Victoria is a more suitable option. Even though you are a full fee paying student, are TAFE course fees more than those mentioned above? I thought it is a lot cheaper because it is from the government rather than privately owned...

Sorry for my late response, I've been away for the past few days.

Wow that is super expensive!

Can you not study through Open TAFE? Even with full fees, surely TAFE would still work out cheaper...would it not?
