"I have just started your course and I was previously studying the same childcare course locally, but being a single mum I found it a juggle with my three boys. Swapping to 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 am enjoying the ease and the simple way in which the course is delivered. I can't thank you all enough for your help." - Robyn

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.
We're here to help, whenever and wherever you need it. Access expert support from a tutor by email or phone (Mon-Fri) or reach us on live chat, 7 days a week.
Our courses are designed in collaboration with institutions, employers and industry experts to equip you with practical, real-world skills that will advance your career and broaden your mind.
