Charlotte Gray, Cert III graduate

My name is Charlotte and I started my certificate traineeship a few years ago. Childcare has always been a dream job for me and I’ve also been so passionate about helping and assisting children with their development and watching them grow.

When I started my course I was very nervous and worried. I always wondered to myself am I going to be able to do this or I would second guess myself. Being able to have that support from your coworkers is the most amazing feeling, knowing that they are there every step of the way pushing you to your limits to see you succeed in something you’ve always wanted.

I found myself facing challenges that I was not prepared for. The late nights to make sure I had completed tasks before their deadlines, countless hours I spent with my director and 2IC asking questions about things I needed assistance with. Tara my trainer was beyond amazing and very prompt when I need extra support. It was all worth it in the end, they have all assisted me and supported me to the very end. I’m so grateful for ACEC and my achievements.
