Build consistent practice across your whole team
First Door partners with service leaders to strengthen shared purpose, pedagogy and consistent quality practice that aligns with the National Quality Framework.
The big cost of quick qualifications
Unfortunately, educators can receive early childhood qualifications WITHOUT the time, support and learning needed to gain the skills and knowledge required in their role. This contributes to negative outcomes for educators, service teams and the sector, including:
Our commitment to develop educators’ purpose and capability
First Door has a long-established, positive reputation for developing capability and inspiring educators throughout their career. We believe all educators need the strong foundation gained in their early childhood qualifications with First Door.

Dedicated mentor

We support the success and professional growth of each of our students through:
Personal onboarding with their mentor
We start the student’s relationship with their mentor from day 1 of course commencement. Mentors gain understanding of each student’s study skills and support needs as part of our onboarding process.
Ongoing and timely support
Support includes guidance and feedback directly from their First Door mentor and assessor.
Inspiring & interactive online resources
First Door provides an online course with tutorials, videos and resources for each unit, that showcase quality practice in services rated Exceeding the NQS or rated Excellent by ACECQA. There’s not just a pdf document to read!
Anytime and flexible accessibility
Students have flexible access to online learning and can complete and submit assessment tasks anytime, from an online device.
Professional knowledge assessment
Our students have a knowledge-based conversation for each unit with their mentor. These mentor meetings encourage development of professional language and reflection.
Practical, workplace-related assessment tasks
Our assessment tasks are designed to put students’ learning into practice. This also includes workplace practical skills assessment and feedback by their mentor.
Transparency on course progress
Transparency includes regular communication, reporting, and a clear support process. Current progress records are visible online to the student, mentor and service director.
