Why This One

What Makes It Different

Here is what stands out in this course.

01
The Four Areas Of Development

Children grow at different rates, but they move through the same stages. You learn each of the four areas, so you know what a milestone looks like when your child reaches it.

02
Notice What Your Child Is Into

You build the skills to watch, record and follow each child's strengths, interests and needs. That is what turns a good day of play into learning you can see.

03
Play And Leisure, Set Up Well

The second part of the course is all about creating space for play and learning at home. Simple ideas you can use the same afternoon.

04
Video Lessons, Not Textbooks

Step-by-step modules and video sessions you can watch on demand, with tutor help by phone and email on weekdays and live chat seven days a week.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need any experience?

None needed. The course starts with the basics of how children develop, whether you are new to parenting or building on what you already do.

Will this help with my own child?

Yes. That is who it is written for. You learn the four areas of development, the milestones children move through, and how to set up play and leisure that supports learning at home.

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 as your child grows.

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.

What do I get when I finish?

A Course Completion Acknowledgement, a short-form credential for Support Learning and Development in Your Child, CPD points, and a Credly digital badge you can share.

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 use these skills with your own family.

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.
