It's Praxibel's flagship program — a practical, six-module professional development series that builds the everyday skills, cultural confidence and communication early childhood educators need to work directly with children. It's delivered as a live three-hour workshop. See the full program →
Two groups: centre directors and leaders who want practical PD for their whole team, and new or internationally trained educators who want the confidence and communication skills to thrive in Australian ECEC. Because different does not mean deficient.
For your whole team there are two options: a 1.5-hour staff meeting session covering one module in depth for $449 (in person, metro Melbourne), or the full three-hour workshop covering all six modules for $849 (in your centre or online). Individual educators can register interest in a public Melbourne workshop. Custom Training is priced per project. The self-paced online course will be $129 per educator when it launches.
The full workshop is three hours — a morning or an afternoon, whichever suits your team. There's also a 1.5-hour staff meeting session that covers a single module in depth, designed to fit an after-hours staff meeting. You choose the timing when you book.
Either, for the full three-hour workshop — Louis facilitates live in your centre or fully online, and it's the same practical program either way. The 1.5-hour staff meeting session is in person only (metro Melbourne; a travel fee applies beyond about 40km from the CBD). Book a session for your centre →
