online courses that put you first
At Early Childhood Teachers Training , we are passionate about providing our students with the knowledge, skills and best practice models to not only be relevant, but to be leaders in the early years sector. The early year’s sector, is under the spotlight worldwide and at Early Childhood Teachers Training, we prepare our students to be facilitators, rather than teachers. We teach them to shape learning around young minds, instead of telling children what to do. Our qualifications and short courses are aligned with the latest international curriculum frameworks and research and our aim is to equip our students with the knowledge and practical assistance needed to be a hands-on, confident early year’s practitioner in the 21st Century.
