Sharon, it's not a must to be employed by a preschool to be enrolled in the course. Just that majority of the course students are people who are already working in a preschool and their principals send them to attend the course. Of course, they will be put on a bond of about 18months to their preschool upon completion of the course. That is if they choose to let the school pay full amount of the course fee. However, Seed institute has a full time course that does not require you to work in a preschool while you are taking the course. It's a day time course that can happen anytime from 9am to 5pm depending on timetable. Some people are also under a scheme that gives you $1000 pocket money allowance for studying full time. I missed that opportunity. Anyway, the full time course at Seed is really good and recognised. They are rather strict in their marking though.
I'm at KLC doing my course. For KLC, they require me to be employed to get funding. That's why i had to put my name in my dad's company to be eligible for government funding. So in the end, the 2k i paid was very worth it. Initially wanted to go Seed institute. If you want more info, you can go there personally and the admin staff will explain to you when their enrollment starts and what's their course requirements and details. I did that too at first and they gave me a clearer view of things. In the course, there will be about 3 practicums where you will be posted to a preschool and you need to clock in hours and complete the required tasks. So even if you're not working in preschool during the course, you will still 'graduate' with some hands on experience upon completion of the course. For my case and my school, most of the ppl are employed by childcare centres alr and the full time course is 18mths from 3pm to 6pm from mondays to fridays. quite tedious for some ppl cos they work and study at the same time. I highly encourage ppl to go Seed institute for the full time course as it's just purely study and practicum sessions only. That time i wanted to go Seed but it was full so i went to KLC institute.
