^ While not a Government public health mandate, individual services have the choice to require evidence of vaccination against COVID-19 and other illnesses. Depending on the service you attend and their vaccination policy, this may affect your ability to undertake practical placement. Practical Outcomes has no authority over the decisions made by individual services and cannot warrant you will be able to be placed elsewhere if you are unable to attend an early childhood service because of your vaccination status and will not be responsible for any impact which this may cause on your ability to complete your course requirements.

Loved studying with Practical Outcomes.The support from my teacher Jane Parkinson was amazing, she was always happy to help, and nothing was too big or too small. I learnt so much with the flexible learning options and at work in a practical placement environment.

I had a wonderful experience studying with Practical outcomes. I want to say special thanks to the team and my trainer Michelle Kelly. She is a wonderful trainer and helped me a lot. She always encouraged me to complete my tasks on time and was always available to answer all my doubts.
