Find Your Whanau, Find Your Direction
By 1 January 2025, home-based ECE services are required to employ mainly educators holding an ECE qualification at Level 4 or above (min. 80% of staff must be suitably qualified, and max. 20% of educators can be in training or induction.) For those already in the industry, or those looking to make a start, finding accessible ways to get qualified are crucial.
NZSE’s School of ECE makes it easier than ever to get your qualification as we are one of very few providers in the country that offer this ECE programme in a fully online capacity.
You can study where you want, when you want – even while working with an ECE provider!
Plus, we’ve partnered with Early Childhood businesses across Auckland and the Waikato to provide the best industry insights and work placements for you as you study.
