Topics

The ECA Learning Hub contains an array of online learning courses for individual, self-paced learning. Interactive courses are designed to give you research-based information, accessible at a time that suits you.

Designed for education and care professionals, the courses featured on the ECA Learning Hub are based on the latest research and follow adult learning methodologies. Our content is developed by subject matter experts, researchers and sector leaders, and undergoes a quality assurance review by at least two professionals with relevant expertise. Our professional learning speaks the language of educators and teachers and can be used across a wide range of settings—schools, preschools/kindergarten, family day care, early childhood services, playgroups and outside school hours care.

Each course may be accessed as many times as you like during a 6-month period from date of purchase.
