This part time evening (2 year course) involves a 1 night per week (4.30pm-7.30pm) program for 74 delivery weeks. This is generally across 8 school terms with term breaks. It would be best suited to a learner who is able to commit to evening classes at the Nikinpa Aboriginal Child and Family Centre at Toronto, plus online study completed outside class times. You may already be employed in an education and care service, or seeking that employment in the future. This delivery can easily be coupled with work in the education and care sector, or other employment or commitments.

If this does not sound like you, we have other delivery options that may better suit you. Students will require regular access to, and have the ability to use a computer and internet. This could either be your personal device or can be accessed at your local campus. We look forward to supporting you in reaching your career goals.
