This industry is different than others. You are dealing with people, the elderly and they are more frail & need sun in their life.”

Students need the ability to study and continue progressing toward their goals especially while life happens. Students are often juggling working and studying with more of what life throws at us, it’s safe to say a level of flexibility while studying is helpful. The effects of living life during a pandemic with more lockdowns than not mean we need solutions to keep things moving in and out of lockdowns. You won’t miss a beat at FYI Education & Training as during lockdowns all of our studies move online.

Early Child Care Jobs Grow as Industry Grows – Get Qualified & Start Your Career.

Thinking of working in Child Care but not sure where to start? We are outlining the basics below to guide students on where to start and what they need to know to build their career in the Early Childhood sector.

Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development. It is through play that children at a very early age engage and interact in the world around them. Play allows children to create and explore a world they can master, conquering their fears while practicing adult roles, sometimes in conjunction with other children or adult caregivers. As they master their world, play helps children develop new competencies that lead to enhanced confidence and the resiliency they will need to face future challenges.

“My advice to other students if you’re passionate it just do it may seem like it’s a lot of work but getting the practice in writing your observation in your assessments and learning from the trainers that have experience in the industry just soak it all in and get as much as you can out of that they’re there to help you. I did just want to add. With me having dyslexia gives a lot of anxiety when it comes to study school kind of environments….

FYI Education & Training has been operating since 2007. For 14 years most of our growth has been from student referrals. It makes us proud to see our students success and to be one of the long standing Registered Training Organisation’s (RTO) in Victoria.

Irena has recently graduated from her Certificate IV in Leisure & Health and has shown great passion and dedication throughout her studies.

“The first thing is the flexibility because of work it was good to study around my work days. Also my trainer Colleen was a lovely teacher and if something was hard to understand, she would always explain it to us. Everyone else in the office also including Ned & Maree were so lovely and whatever you ask for they will help you. Everything is so positive, I have nothing negative to say.”

At its core, self-care is the practice of protecting your own well-being and happiness, particularly during times of stress. It’s about taking action to balance physical and emotional health by knowing your limits and not going over them.

Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment. Practicing mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress.

Provide support to those with a disability while empowering them to achieve greater levels of independence, self-reliance, community participation and wellbeing.

“I LOVE that everyone is family and welcomed. The support given by all staff. The different study options so everyone can study. I know being a mum but even when I was working full time, on site study wasn't an option for me but doing it online I was still able to do my desired course and not miss out on an opportunity. Being made to feel like you're achieving rather than just a number in a school.”

 “Pathway - this is a starting point, for example if you want to be a teacher, it doesn’t stop here working as a n EC only, if you want to further or do something more rewarding and you can go from here, credits can be used. There are so many pathway options, even management.”

The best part about studying at FYI Training is that we guarantee all our students with practical placement opportunities while they study with us. You won’t have to go searching and putting in the hard work to find a spot, we do all the work for you.
