Insight Training recognises that some students have had previous experience and learning whether that be working in the industry or completion of a previous course of study.  Insight Training is happy to discuss Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) to students. Each student requesting RPL will be interviewed and they should provide a portfolio of evidence to support their application and may be assessed on the job. On the job assessments can be conducted to assess current skills and knowledge.

Insight Training has connections with many industries and employers to help facilitate the work placement component of your studies. As part of this process, we support students ahead of and during their work placement. 

While job placement or career support can happen organically when students are on their work placement, this is provided by the host organisation. 

This refers to the delivery of courses where a student undertakes all formal course work in a classroom environment with an assigned teacher/trainer and assessor in-person. Classroom delivery will often involve simulated workplace activities.

Although Insight Training strive to ensure that students are job ready by providing an industry specific course and support for the compulsory work placement, there is no guarantee of employment upon completion of the course.

This refers to the delivery of a course where a student undertakes all coursework through the provision of hard copy learning, teaching and assessment materials.

Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care

Certificate III in School Based Education Support

Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care

Each course differs in length depending on the qualification and student’s individual needs, although we aim to prepare people for the workplace as quickly as possible. We find most of our students complete a level III certificate in 5-6 months, and a diploma in 12 months.

We can offer you a variety of nationally recognised Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma level training and education. We offer courses in a variety of fields, including Aged Care, Early Childhood Education, Community Services, Business & Management, Human Resources, Warehousing & Transport and Retail.

As a joint initiative with AccessEAP (which also runs our Student Assistance Program), aims to help students address an array of life challenges, ideally before they become distractions that affect home life as well as studies with Insight Training. The service will provide access to a dedicated counselling hotline available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and 3 complimentary face-to-face counselling sessions.

Most employers in the childcare industry look to hire qualified individuals; those without a qualification must show they are working towards completing one. This means enrolling on a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care within three months of starting employment.
Similarly, while you can work in school-based education support without a Certificate III qualification, the preference is definitely that employees have one.

Therefore, we recommend you complete a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care or a Certificate III in School Based Education Support as a minimum to enhance your skills and employment opportunities. Those already working in childcare and looking to progress their career may consider other courses at Insight Training, such as:

CHC50121 Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care

The diploma prepares you for supervisory and managerial roles and serves as a stepping stone to further qualifications such as a Bachelor of Education degree.

Yes, Insight Training courses are Centrelink approved and are Nationally Recognised Training through the Australian Qualification Framework.

Our aim is to ensure our students are skilled with up-to-date industry standards and most importantly getting that dream job.

All our childcare and education courses can help you at any stage of your career, whether you’re new to the industry or you’ve been working with early years children for a long time.

If you have completed an entry-level course such as Certificate III, you may choose to continue your studies and learn more advanced skills by completing a diploma. Or, if you already have a diploma, a Bachelor of Education will take your studies all the way to the degree level. 

However you decide to take your career forward, Insight Training can help you find the right course. Contact our support team on 1300 046 744.

Some of our community services courses include theory, practical skills, and a work placement component where students demonstrate the skills they have acquired in real life.

Each of our courses equips you with the skills for your chosen industry and in unison with other RTOs and employers across Australia. Certificates III or IV are nationally recognised qualifications that help facilitate your chosen career path and give you a certificate known within your industry.

A Unique Student Identifier (USI) number is a unique number that is allocated to students studying nationally recognised Vocational Educational Training (VET) in Australia. This is a government initiative that enables you to access all of your training records and results from the one location allowing you to provide proof of qualification to any potential employer. USI’s are mandatory to anyone wanting to complete nationally recognised training.

If you forgot or lost your USI number please call

• Student Support 1300 046 744 and fill out a Release of Information form and supply ID or
• Skilling Australia on 1300 856 007

The Acer LLN is an assessment a student needs to complete to be eligible to attract assistance through VET Fee Help. They must complete a Language, Literacy and Numeracy Core Skills Profile.

As part of the new Government requirements for VET Fee Help Students,  student’s must complete the ACER LLN. Unless you are able to provide the Government Issued certificate.

In the guidelines it stipulates that a student must get the following result:

Reading – Exit Level 3 (Minimum)

Numeracy – Exit Level 3 (Minimum)

Writing – No minimum is stipulated

What happens if I don’t meet the minimal requirements for the LLN?

We set you up to have a second attempt, if you were unsuccessful in the second attempt we will refer your enrolment to our Course Careers Advisors and they will be in contact with you to discuss alternative option other then VFH.

I have a Government issued Year 12 certificate, do I still need to complete the LLN?

No, you will just need to submit your Government issued Certificate upon enrolment and this will exempt you from completing the LLN.

If I have previously completed the ACER LLN Assessment, can I provide these results to Insight Training instead?

If the ACER LLN Assessment was completed in the last 6 months, you will not be required to complete the assessment again, however if your results are over 6 months old, a new ACER LLN will be required to be completed.

You may still be eligible for funding. Contact Insight Training to find out more information on how to apply.
