Studying nursery teacher training from Johannesburg
Learners in Sandton, Randburg, Soweto, Roodepoort, Fourways, Midrand, Rosebank and Alberton and across Gauteng use the same online course: log in at any time, work through the modules and submit assignments to your tutor. You can practise with children where you already work, volunteer at a local playschool or nursery, or use activities at home.
Study is self-paced, so SAST (UTC+2) working hours make no difference. Assignments are in English; English and other official languages can all be part of your classroom practice.

Recognition in South Africa
Teachers in South Africa register with the South African Council for Educators (SACE), and ECD practitioner qualifications sit on the national qualifications framework. An APTTI course is international professional development, not a SACE or NQF-registered qualification.
