Early Childhood Education and Care Testimonials
"I just completed a course with First Door, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. My mentor, Jodie, provided exceptional support and guidance, which really helped to enhance my learning experience. The units were rich with well-structured, informative content that significantly contributed to my understanding of the subject matter. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to individuals seeking an enriching and supportive educational journey."

"With the support from First Door, I have been able to study in a way that is manageable while being a mother and having a job. I really didn’t think it was going to be doable but Jodie from First Door has supported me every step of the way. I am absolutely loving all the content I’m learning. Thank you First Door!"

It's been a while since I've had to study so I was a little nervous but First Door has been so accommodating to my needs in helping me get started and navigate myself through the first unit.
- Sophie Luland, new Certificate lll in Early Childhood Education and Care student
I completed a school based traineeship with a different RTO, but felt like I didn’t learn anything to prepare me to be an educator! When I left school, I decided to make early childhood my career, and was recommended to enrol with First Door to complete my Diploma qualification. Right from my very first unit I felt like I was learning so much, and it wasn’t long before I was able to get a full time job as an educator.
After I graduated with my Diploma, I was promoted to being a lead educator. My knowledge and confidence has grown so much since I started studying with First Door. They were there to support me even when I didn’t think I could finish, and now I am currently in my second trimester to complete my Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary). My next goal is to become a qualified Kindergarten teacher. I’ve never looked back since I enrolled with First Door, it’s been a life changer for me, and for my career in early childhood.

"First Door training is like the Harvard/Oxford of Early Childhood Training - exceptional. I am so fortunate to have had to move to First Door as my original provider was no longer funded in my state. Thank you."
- Carole-Anne Lewis Macfarlane, graduated Certificate lll in ECEC student
"I studied my Cert 3 in early childhood, but then wanted to enhance my knowledge more. I decided to study my Diploma through First Door.
The information and knowledge that First Door shares to students is second to none and is up to date knowledge... The holistic approach First Door has towards how we see a child, the rights of the child and nature play were some of the areas that impacted me the most.
When I became an Educational Leader, Assistant Director and eventually Service Director, I was able to embed the holistic approach to how we see the child, and develop and grow nature play into the indoor and outdoor environments...
As I watched the children grow and develop each day I had the opportunity to see the growth and development in the Educators that I mentored and would challenge along the way, of why something was done a particular way, or their thought processes.
I thank First Door for the training they offer, the challenge of where and how you will use that knowledge and guidance. As this opportunity to study through First Door also gave me a new confidence to help and support and be part of a teams' growth."

Tracey Langham | graduated Diploma of ECEC student
Service Director at Samford Pines Child Care and Early Learning Centre
"I joined the early childhood profession after having my three children and completed my Certificate 3 in ECEC through a different RTO, which I felt didn’t teach me much at all.
When I decided to further my studies, I was recommended to enrol with First Door to complete my Diploma. From the first moment I started I knew I had made the right decision. I felt supported, inspired and I was learning so much. I was able to take all the information I had learnt and put it into practice.
As my knowledge and confidence grew over time, I have been able to grow as an educator and I was promoted to an Educational Leader and now I am currently the director at a beautiful centre.
Even though I have finished my studies for the moment I have continued to work with First Door to support my team with ongoing professional development and to complete their own studies."

Nicole Jeans | graduated Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care student
Service Director at Smart Play Early Learners Caboolture
"I love First Door's approach to training. It was one of the reasons I switched from another RTO. A collective of trainers with firsthand industry experience, the learning journey is a 'partnership'. There is so much support available - in person, over the phone, in situ, online and at dedicated study sessions. They make study so accessible and meaningful! I especially love the mentoring sessions that add another layer of understanding through reflective conversation. With First Door, I feel you have a training partner for life! Thank you for such a quality educational journey so far."
- Chrissy Skinner | Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care student
"After coming from a training institute whom didn't live up to very good standards, it was a breath of fresh air to become a student at First Door. I am so impressed with the professionalism, amazing support and friendly approachable team thus far and I am so excited to complete my diploma with them. I couldn't recommend them highly enough."
