The Bachelor of Early Childhood Education is your pathway to an exciting career as an early childhood teacher, where you will gain a contemporary body of knowledge and skills to educate children from birth to five years across a variety of settings and professional roles. Central to the course design is the significance of the development and learning that occurs between birth and starting school for every child. 

Fast-Track Your Early Childhood Education Degree with Credit Transfer and Advanced Standing

Australia urgently needs more Early Childhood Teachers (ECTs), and upgrading your Diploma to a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education is a proactive way to help meet this demand.

If you’ve completed a vocational CHC50113 Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, you might be eligible to enter directly into the second year of the Bachelor course. Through credit transfer, you could receive Advanced Standing for up to 11 subjects, significantly reducing your study time.

Graduates of the nested Diploma of Early Childhood Education from Ikon Institute of Australia may be eligible to commence studies in the third year of the Bachelor of Early Childhood Education program, with Advanced Standing credits granted accordingly.

Plus, if you begin the Bachelor of Early Childhood Education but decide after two years it’s not the right path for you, you can still graduate with a Diploma of Early Childhood Education as a nested award.
