Founded in 2021, ELC Training Australia (ELC) delivers the Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care and the Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care. Units of competency on first aid and children at risk are also available.
Based on a contemporary immersive-delivery model, training focuses on real-world skills and practical elements required to develop early childhood educators.
ELC partners with early childhood education and care businesses that operate as the primary ‘classroom’, immersing learners and trainers in the work environment. This embedded approach to delivery overcomes issues that can occur when work placement is supported by colleagues rather than trainers.
To meet learner and business needs, training delivery is flexible: with evening or weekend workshops for groups, individual learners can schedule sessions for a time that suits them.
ELC’s learner-centred approach is the foundation for ongoing engagement with training and a successful early childhood career.
Founded in 2001 and the only Australian provider of accredited training in heritage trade skills, Flexible Construction Training & Assessment (FCTA) – Building Careers, delivers 4 qualifications (in bricklaying, stonemasonry, tiling, and heritage trade skills) to learners.
FCTA’s contact with industry and domestic partnerships with the National Trust of South Australia and Renewal SA give learners access to heritage sites for training and work.
Industry expertise broadens FCTA’s training with supplier representatives conducting workshops on Australian Standards, Building Codes, proper use of materials, best practices, and common failings onsite.
After training with the Scottish Lime Centre Trust, FCTA’s heritage trade trainer uses the latest approaches to training complicated restoration techniques, and apprentices can access a Summer Placement Scholarship with the Cathedrals’ Workshop Fellowship in England.
FCTA’s Stonemasonry Scholarship Programme aims to attract trainers and encourage women into the industry.
FCTA is uniquely placed to bring the past into the future.
