"I have just started your course and I was previously studying the same childcare course locally, but being a single mum I found it a juggle with my three boys. Swapping to online through Online Courses AUS was the best decision I ever made. It's so much more organised and I can work my studies around my children. It's no longer a juggle trying to fit everything into my busy lifestyle. Brigid that helped me prior to switching was so friendly and helpful which helped me in making my decision to swap from in class to online. I am enjoying the ease and the simple way in which the course is delivered. I can't thank you all enough for your help." - Robyn

The lessons are all taught on demand, and assessments are generally short answer or multiple-choice and can be re-taken as many times as needed. They’re perfect for people with busy lives and families who want to better themselves while unlocking better opportunities.
