loved studying with Practical Outcomes Early Child care Education. 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. highly recommend Practical Outcomes to anyone!

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 throughout my diploma in Early childhood education and care. she always encouraged me to complete my tasks on time and was always available to answer all my doubts. Thanks.
