I have recently completed my Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care through WTS (previously AST) under the guidance of Carley who has been absolutely incredible as a trainer. The online studies made it fit into my busy life schedule, anywhere. I would highly recommend WTS to anyone looking to get into the Early Childhood Education field.

Course participant Rebecca

I wanted a change of careers and WTS (previously AST) was the best experience for me, and the best thing that I could have done. WTS went above and beyond to find a course that suited my needs, the enrolment process was a breeze and I was supported through the process. Starting a course as an adult was very nerve racking, but the trainer I had ensured every single students needs were met and catered his teaching style to suit their needs, a very inclusive organisation and a very safe environment to be in.

Course participant Angie

Completed Cert IV in Disability with WTS (previously AST) online, trainers were extremely helpful and the online portal was easy to navigate. Would highly recommend WTS.

Course Participant Emma

I would highly recommend WTS (previously AST) and if I decide to do more study I will definitely be using WTS.
