If you are an experienced early childhood educator looking to become a four-year qualified teacher, UNEs Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Education and Care) is the course for you. This degree is accredited with the Australian Childrens Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) as an approved Early Childhood Teacher qualification, allowing you to take the next step in your career. We understand that many of our students are in remote or regional areas, which makes finding professional experience placements a challenge. As a result, most of the placements in this course can be completed in the early learning service where you work, as long as your service caters for babies and meets the National Quality Standard.
