DIPLOMA OF CHILDRENS SERVICES
At present, Australia is experiencing a severe shortage of Child Care Coordinators. We have been working closely with one of the largest Child Care Education Providers in Australia and they are in urgent need of skilled workers.
They are currently interviewing persons who work in child care or are interested in making child care a career. For those that are interested in making it a career, they are offering a Government approved and registered one year Certificate III and Diploma of Children’s Services. This course is an intensive course which usually takes two years to complete.
Successful, competent and enthusiastic students are offered sponsorship by an Australian Child Care facility.
Study over a week includes:
- Monday Classroom 9am to 4pm
- Tuesday: Classroom 9am to 4 pm
- Wednesday: Work placement in a child care centre (Unpaid) practical study
Thursday and Friday you are encouraged to work as an unqualified assistant in a child care centre (paid around ($15.00 per hour). The school assists with placement.
Successful candidates who attain the diploma and practical experience after the first year become available for sponsorship.
Sponsorship involves you being sponsored by a registered child care facility in which you will be guaranteed a starting wage of $41,850.00 per annum plus 9% superannuation for a 38 hour week. These visas are usually issued for 4 years. (You are not a Permanent Resident under these visas)
Once you have worked under this visa category for two years you can become eligible to make an application for Permanent Residency under the Employer Nominated Scheme.
Under a sponsored visa your spouse has open work rights.
To see if you may be eligible for sponsorship contact us where we will arrange and interview by telephone with the school and child care facilitator
