NSW educators & teachers: 

What does the overhaul of professional development mean for you?*

  • For learners that undertake previously accredited training on The Learning Hub portal, we will upload completions through 29 January 2021. It is then incumbent on the educator to ensure they enter their required information on eTAMS by 5 February 2021.
  • For employees of large providers that access The Learning Hub on their own LMS, please check with your L&D or P&C teams  on their cut-of dates for reports being sent to ECA

  • Thank you for an informative and engaging webinar. It is the first one I have participated in and I look forward to participating in many more. I have tended to veer away from this kind of learning but found it incredibly easy and so worthwhile. Thank you so much for the opportunity, I look forward to joining many more of your webinars from now on!

    Jo Morrison, Webinar Attendee

  • I think it’s an amazing resource, ECA is well known in the sector for keeping everyone up-to-date, and making learning interesting and current. Great videos.

    Early Childhood Educator, Learning Hub Survey Participant

  • An excellent resource. Professionally produced and highly regarded by the profession!

    Early Childhood Educator, Learning Hub Survey Participant

  •  The Learning Hub has been a valuable method for educators to access quality training and contemporary practice. It is a cost effective method of providing training particularly for rurally located services. The modules are also able to be workshopped in a team, which means that all educators are receiving the same information.

    Annette Millard, Learning Hub Annual Subscription holder

  • The subscription is great, I would definitely recommend it. Not only is it good for experienced educators like myself but also for any educator at any level. I have been using the program as a resource tool for discussion – reflecting on our current practice and opening discussion with other educators at our service. 

    Sharon, Learning Hub Annual Subscription holder

  • Our service really enjoys using the Learning Hub. It allows educators to complete training on a variety of topics at times that suit the service – thank you!

    Early Childhood Educator, Learning Hub Survey Participant

  • The quality of the resources is fantastic; both the content and the presentation. Engaging, accessible and relevant. The quality is one way of recognising the importance of the EC sector.

    Early Childhood Educator, Learning Hub Survey Participant

  • Thank you for making learning so accessible. I feel I am able to keep up to date with the latest information in a place and at a time that suits me. I love to keep learning and your courses are a great help.

    Early Childhood Educator, Learning Hub Survey Participant

  • Being in a rural and remote location, we don’t have access to a lot of professional development training. I love that the Learning Hub is just a click away. My staff don’t even have to leave the building!
