"I have just started your course, and I was previously studying the same course locally, but being a single mum, I found it a juggle with my three boys. Swapping online through Online Courses AUS was the best decision I ever made. It's so much more organised, and I can work my studies around my children. It's no longer a juggle trying to fit everything into my busy lifestyle. Brigid, that helped me prior to switching, was so friendly and helpful, which helped me in making my decision to swap from in-class to online. I enjoy the ease and the simple way the course is delivered. I can't thank you all enough for your help." - Robyn

A school-age care service is one that offers care and education for children between the ages of 5 years and 12 years. This usually coincides with primary school years, from kindergarten/prep to grade 6. School-age care services are also known as OSHC, Out of School Hours Care, Before School Care or After School Care.

If you want to become an educator working within this sector, our online childcare course, Before & After School care, is a significant first step.

More Content. More Skills. More Value.

All childcare lessons are presented in step-by-step learning modules perfect for studying at a pace that suits your lifestyle.

Why students love learning with us

We don't use dense academic text books. Instead, we design digestible step-by-step modules and high-quality video sessions, backed by 24/7 tutorial support. The lessons are all taught on demand, and assessments are generally short answer or multiple-choice and can be re-taken as many times as needed. They’re perfect for people with busy lives and families who want to better themselves while unlocking better opportunities.
We are CPD endorsed. Completing CPD-endorsed learning gives you CPD Points. These points are recognised by employers. You will receive evidence of your CPD points on your Course Completion Acknowledgement and digital badge issued by Credly.
Enrol at any time and study on your own terms. Assessments are designed to improve comprehension rather than test the recall of facts in a timed setting.
