Virtual classes are a flexible, supportive and immersive way to study child care CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care and CHC50125 Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care.
At Suzan Johnston Australia, we understand that learners want the best of both worlds – the convenience of online learning combined with the warmth, connection and accountability that comes from interacting with real trainers and classmates.
That’s why our EArly Childhood Education and Care courses are offered through an engaging Virtual Classroom delivery mode, designed for learners who want structure, real-time support, and a genuine classroom feel… without the commute.
Our Virtual Classroom has become one of our most popular options, and below you’ll find a complete overview of how it works and why so many learners love it.
What is a Virtual Classroom?
A Virtual Classroom is just like attending class in person – except you join from home.
You log into live, trainer-led classes at set times each week, connect with a consistent group of peers, participate in discussions, ask questions instantly, and enjoy the motivation that comes with attending a real class.
It offers all the interaction and accountability of face-to-face training, delivered in a modern, online format that fits around busy lives.
How Does Suzan Johnston’s Virtual Classroom Work?
Our virtual learning model is designed to give childcare learners strong foundations, exceptional support and a clear pathway into the workplace.
Here’s what to expect:
1. Live Virtual Classes (weekly or fortnightly)
You’ll attend scheduled online childcare classes with your trainer and group. These sessions are interactive and practical, ensuring you understand key concepts before moving ahead.
2. Step-by-Step Learning
We guide you through the units in a structured, logical order to help you build confidence and competence.
3. Real Support from Real Trainers
Your trainer is available throughout your learning journey – during class and outside of class – for extra help, personalised feedback, and encouragement.
