Thank you for providing this wonderful module. It is so good to be able to complete and extend on my learning in my own time and when I am able. Love the training and everything you are doing to enhance educators’ roles.

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.

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 his 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 we 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. Congratulations. 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!
