Are you interested in progressing your career to become ECT qualified? This is a optional extra perk of working at Little Miracles.
Little Miracles is an employer with a long history of supporting and training educators to complete their Certificate 3 and Diploma qualifications. We are now offering ECT scholarships to successful candidates! So, what’s the deal?
- Successful candidates will work full time whilst studying full time online with the University of New England (UNE)

- If the centre you work at applies for a waiver for you to work as an ECT, we will even pay you as an entry level ECT whilst you study!
- You can be eligible for a waiver with just 1 year of experience as a Diploma room leader or 2 years’ experience working as a fully qualified diploma
- Also, instead of paying for the $12,450 course fees yourself and creating a Course Fee HELP debt, we will pay the fees for you!
