This calls for a celebration!

🎉 We’re absolutely thrilled to share that ELC Training Australia has been named a finalist for SA Training Awards 2026 in Small Provider of the Year category. 🎉

This one belongs to every trainer who’s shown up fortnightly, face to face, to make sure our students aren’t just passing units but genuinely becoming excellent educators. It belongs to every partner centre that opened its doors and let our students learn in real rooms, with real children, from day one. And it belongs to every student who’s put in the work to meet the high standards this profession deserves.

We’re a small team. We think that’s exactly why we can do this well. Being small means we know our students by name, we notice when someone’s struggling before it becomes a problem, and we can actually live the values we talk about instead of just writing them into a policy document.

Thank you to everyone who’s part of this. This recognition is yours as much as it is ours.

Our Industry Partner Centres

As a uniquely positioned Registered Training Organisation (RTO), we offer students direct access to a live workplace environment from the beginning of their studies. Through strong partnerships with several established Early Learning Centres – Stirling Infant Toddler Centre, Stirling Early Learning Centre, and Gawler Riverside Early Learning Centre – along with the YMCA and Yorke Peninsula Family Centres in Minlaton and Maitland, students are immersed in high-quality, real-world settings that help them build workplace-ready skills.

These centres, with a proud legacy spanning multiple decades, are deeply embedded in their local communities and committed to progressive, holistic early education. Whether in the heart of the Adelaide Hills or nestled beside the river in Gawler, or any of other metro and regional locations,  each centre offers a nurturing and inspiring environment, drawing from the Reggio Emilia philosophy and tailored approaches to early learning.

Our integrated study placements ensure students gain meaningful, hands-on industry experience with support from our trainers on a regular and frequent basis. This approach supports confident, work-ready graduates prepared to thrive in the early childhood education sector.
