Who it fits

May suit graduates of any bachelor's program who want to move into early childhood education and gain practical preparation for work with children from birth to five years old.

What to watch for

CRICOS records a compulsory 480-hour placement component. Before placement, the checks and training listed in the entry requirements will be required. This catalogue includes the Victorian Melbourne campus at the Dandenong address; other official SISTC locations are not included because the current catalogue model links a course to only one campus.

Costs before starting

Before study starts: application fee A$250; CRICOS lists additional non-tuition costs of A$2,500, whose composition should be confirmed with SISTC. Budget separately for OSHC, visa costs, documents and living expenses.
