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.

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.
