Emotional Intelligence In Early Education - What the Experts Say
Harsh parenting and strict teachers have been the wallpaper of many of our lives. How do we expect children to have empathy and compassion for other people if we don’t show them how? How can we expect them to treat others with kindness and respect if they don't know what that feels like in their own bodies?
“The world needs more carers” our student Gina & her Learning journey
“If you want to make a difference in this world, become a carer. Do a Certificate III in Individual Support. The world needs careers, good carers. Not just going for the wrong reasons. This industry is different than others. You are dealing with people, the elderly and they are more frail & need sun in their life.”
Gratitude, Purpose, Persistence and Seizing the Day, lessons from our inspiring talk with Dr Dinesh
One of my fiends said to me, “Life is not a reversal, the show it on right now” it is happening in-front of us - right now.”
“Don’t ever let anyone tell you what you can’t do or how you should live your life because at the end of the day there not going to be there. It’s easy for the spectator but hard for the gladiator in the arena, that’s the true hero”
“Keep people around you that support you and believe in your dreams.”
“When you do make it, make sure that you support the people that want to follow your path. Celebrate the people that helped you. People are do damn important in our journeys. It’s because of the people around me that I’m here today.”

The best parts about studying at FYI: “I really liked my trainers Nan and Amanda. I had my face to face classes with Nan and you could literally ask her a question about anything and she would just know and answer straight away with a scenario ready because she has been through it.”
Why flexible & online learning is more important than ever
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.
