Is An ECD Practitioner Qualification The Right Next Step For You?


Section 1, page 1

I want to build a career working with children

I work at a daycare or crèche but I have no qualification to show for it

I run my own daycare or crèche and need the right qualification to keep it running legally

I want to study but I do not have my Matric yet

I am working in a different field but I want to move into child care

I work at a daycare or crèche but I have no formal qualification yet

I run my own daycare or crèche and I am ready to take it to the next level

I have not finished school yet and I am not sure where that leaves me

None of these describe my situation exactly

Section 1, page 2

It would give me the credentials I need to enter the child care industry properly

It would mean I can get hired at a salary that reflects my experience

It would mean my crèche is fully compliant and no one can question what I have built

It would mean getting my Matric first and then moving straight into a child care qualification

Nothing yet, I want to understand what is available before I commit

Section 1 Page 3

I do not have my Matric and I am not sure what I qualify for

I cannot afford to choose the wrong course and waste money

I am not sure how to fit studying around my job and my family

I am not sure how to keep my crèche running while I study

I am not sure this is the right move for me yet

Section 1 Page 4

I have none, but I am serious about building a career in child care

I look after children informally in my community

I am still deciding if child care is the right direction for me

Section 1 Page 5

Yes, my employer requires qualified staff and I want to meet that standard

Yes, I run a crèche and I need to get it fully compliant before it costs me

No, I did not know that but it confirms I am making the right move

No, I am still at school and I did not know child care was a formal career path

I was not aware — I am still learning about the industry

Section 1 Page 6

I want to work in a child care role I qualify for

I want to work as a qualified ECD Practitioner at a reputable facility

I want to run a fully registered, DSD-compliant crèche that is growing

I want to study child care after completing my Matric

Section 2, page 1

Online — watching videos, reading on screen, using apps

With physical books and printed materials I can highlight and write on

10+ hours — I have plenty of time to study

5–10 hours — I can study consistently

1–4 hours — I may struggle to keep up

Section 2, page 2

Sometimes, but it’s not always consistent

Very comfortable — I’m self-motivated and disciplined

Somewhat comfortable — I may need occasional support

Not very comfortable — I prefer more structure and guidance
