Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need any experience?

None needed. The course starts from the basics of talking and listening with children. It is written for parents and for anyone who spends time around kids.

Will this help with my own kids?

Yes. That is the heart of it. You learn how to speak so they understand you, listen so they feel heard, and show respect while they build their own words.

How long does the course take?

Around 10 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 per 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 build better relationships with 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.
