📖Introduction
The University of Notre Dame Australia is a prestigious institution that holds a prominent position among Australian universities.

With a commitment to academic excellence and a strong focus on values-based education, Notre Dame provides students with a holistic learning experience that combines rigorous academics with personal growth and community engagement.
The Graduate Certificate in Education (Early Childhood) is a nationally accredited program that enables primary qualified teachers to gain an early childhood qualification. The program, which consists of four courses, includes 12 weeks of practical teaching experience across both childcare and school settings. The program is equivalent to 0.5 of a full-time load and will take approximately 12 months to complete, depending on the course offerings each year.
Early Childhood education? Our Graduate Certificate in Education (Early Childhood), which is delivered fully online, provides specialised study for those wishing to develop their skills and qualifications to teach in the early years from birth to 8 years.
This postgraduate program covers topics such as Understanding Holistic Development in Context, Early Years’ Curriculum Development, Trends in Early Childhood Development and Education, and Integration in Early Years’ Settings. If your current qualification is not in Early Childhood, you will also be required to complete a practical component that is embedded in the courses offered. This involves two weeks with babies and toddlers (aged 0-2 years) within a childcare context and 10 weeks with children aged 3-5 years within a school or childcare setting. The practicum components are embedded within the coursework.
Graduates of this program may choose to enrol for a Master of Education at Notre Dame.
