If you are asking for child care purposes, as long as it is a ourselves that increases your employability it would generally be acceptable. Just keep record of how much you are actually studying in case you are asked to prove it. I generally suggest keeping a diary. Put in hours and what topic etc you are studying on any given day.
Thanks Briggsy's Girl Yes it is for childcare (so I actually get a decent chunk of time to study that isnt just when ds is in bed lol), as well as whether I just generally needed to tell them or not lol. Do you think cert 3 business administration would be accepted? It is to increase my chances of employability, I thought this course would give me the skills to have an option of positions to apply for (receptionist/pa type etc). The diary idea is brilliant, I would never have thought of it. Thanks! Any idea if it would be best to call or see someone in person to clarify with them?


I'm studying online and I can print out my enrolment details that detail what course/units I'm enrolled into and what the study load is.

Not sure what OTEN is ...
OTEN is just a place that provides tafe courses online, its nsw based I think. It was the cheapest I could find the course anyway LOL!
