  • 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.

  • 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!
