Major In Early Years

Our Professional Certificate in Early Childhood Education (PCECE) programme aims to equip students with the special skills needed to work with and nurture young children from newborns to toddlers of the age of 3.

Our programmes are taught by highly qualified lecturers with Doctorates and Masters from reputable Australian and Singaporean universities, with the certificate awarded by the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTMSPACE).

The programme is recognised in Singapore and provides the necessary skills to secure employment as a preschool teacher or other profession in a similar capacity—skills that are very high in demand.

The 8-month programme will teach students the fundamentals of effective interpersonal and communication skills needed to interact with young children as well as their families and communities with consideration for cultural diversity.

The programme also teaches students how to care for the physical, nutritional, and emotional well-being of young children, as well as how to develop their creative thinking and talents, including music, science, mathematics, sports, and social skills.
