Toilet Training And Mealtimes

Positive toilet training, and how to build good eating habits without a fight at the table. The daily stuff that wears people out.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need any experience?

None needed. The course starts from the basics, and it is built for first-time parents as much as for people already caring for babies, toddlers and children.

Will this help with my own kids?

Yes. You learn safe sleep, positive toilet training, good eating habits, and how to keep the home safe. It also covers how to build your relationship with the children in your care.

How long does the course take?

Around 12 study hours, at your own pace. Access is lifetime, so there is no deadline. You can come back to the material after you finish.

What does it cost each week?

The weekly plan is $15 a week, interest-free with no credit check. Enquire for the full payment options, including pay-in-four with Afterpay and upfront.

How are assessments done?

Short-answer and multiple-choice, built to help you understand rather than test you against the clock. You can retake them as many times as you need, and marking comes back within one business day.

Is this course accredited?

It is CPD endorsed, which is accreditation for professional development: you finish with CPD points employers recognise, plus a Credly digital badge. It is not a nationally recognised qualification. That is a different thing, and you do not need one to care for the children in your life.

Can I get my money back if it is not for me?

Yes. There is a 7-day cooling-off period. You can switch to another course or get your money back.
