Our Student Successes

Nicole O'Toole, a former student at Insight Rockingham, had extensive experience in childcare education, working for many years at a childcare centre. However, a serious health scare - a mini-stroke - prompted her to reconsider her career path. Seeking guidance, Nicole visited her job provider and was presented with several options. She chose to pursue a CHC30221 Certificate III in School Based Education Support, a decision that would significantly shape her future.

Nicole found her training experience at Insight Training transformative, largely thanks to her trainer, Bec. From the start, Bec's passion and support made a lasting impression, creating an engaging and approachable learning environment. Nicole appreciated the practical exercises, such as role plays and scenarios, which allowed her to apply classroom knowledge to real-world situations. The combination of familiar content from her life experiences and new, targeted skills equipped her well for a school setting.

The skills Nicole gained during her training proved invaluable during her work placement at a primary school. These experiences allowed her to handle various challenges, blending her prior childcare knowledge with new expertise tailored to the school environment. Nicole's journey highlights the resilience and transformative power of dedicated training and support, showing how quality education and passionate educators can lead to a rewarding new career.

Alana, currently in the final stages of a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care while also working full-time at Goodstart Early Learning, began her journey with a CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care. Motivated by a desire to enhance her skills and take on more responsibilities, Alana was encouraged by her Centre Director to pursue further training. She was introduced to Insight Training, a program that had already been beneficial to other trainees at her centre.

Throughout her Diploma course, Alana received significant support from her trainer, Tash. Describing Tash as amazing, Alana appreciated her constant assistance and encouragement. Balancing a full-time job with her studies proved challenging, but Tash was always available through various means - Teams meetings, centre visits, emails, and calls - to provide the necessary guidance and support. Alana also credited her Centre Director for pushing her to persevere.

Alana strongly advocates for others who have a passion for childcare to pursue their qualifications, emphasising the positive impact they can have on children's lives. She particularly recommends Insight Training and highlights Tash's exceptional support throughout the process, encouraging anyone interested to follow a similar path.
