Supporting your success

Enquire now

Learner success is about ensuring that you are at the centre of our teaching and feel supported throughout your learning journey.

 

We provide a host of integrated supports to ensure your learning experience is a collaborative and rewarding one, and that you leave our courses equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to have an impactful career.

Dedicated trainer support 

Educators and learners are partners with a shared goal: to impact the world around them through care and compassion.

All of our trainers have real-life experience in relevant sectors and workplaces, so they closely understand it, as well as the type of challenges you might come across. The trainer’s aim is to develop a productive learning collaboration, tailored to your specific learning style, and a solid foundation for future professional relationships.

That’s why you’re assigned a trainer who will closely support you right the way through your learning experience with us.

  • Language support if English is an additional language or dialect
  • Literacy and numeracy support
  • Digital literacy support
  • Study tips
  • Assistance with work placement

This is a one-hour session which will cover everything you need to know to get started in your studies, from teaching methods to requirements for practical placement hours. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask anything that you’re unsure about – there is no wrong question.

At this session we will familiarise you with the following.

  • Our learning methods
  • The online portal if you’re an online learner
  • What is expected for the first assessments
  • The requirements for practical placement hours, and
  • Our learning community hubs

Learner Success

Online learning community

Beyond individual support, we want to ensure that you join a community of caring and compassionate professionals via our Online Learning Hubs.

Our trainer-led learner community hubs are small online group webinar sessions with learners studying the same course as you, where you can actively engage with trainers and peers, asking questions, and finding solutions together.

They are a great way to gain deeper understandings and to help you progress in your studies.

This community-oriented approach is key to developing the soft skills central to a rewarding and successful career in care: problem-solving, managing emotions, and verbalising and discussing ideas.

Practical placement

Practical placement coordinator

Our practical placements are organised in blocks throughout the course, so you can apply the knowledge as you’re learning it. Some learners also find employment through their time in placement, so it’s also a great practical interview opportunity.

All of your regular supports are available through this important learning stage, and you’ll continue to connect with your trainer regularly. A practical placement coordinator is also there to support your success during the placement.

We also have a pre-placement live information session, where you can get an overview of what to expect during your placement, and ask questions. That way you can head into your placement confident and open to the experience.

I completed my diploma of early childhood education and care through Selmar institute – online. My course was thorough and gave me all the right tools to move forward with my career in this sector. It has been a positive and engaging course with the help of my incredible trainer/assessor Kristy A. I would highly recommend doing your studies through Selmar.
