Do you feel passionate about working with children? Are you interested in starting a new career as an Early Childhood Assistant but feel afraid of going back to school and starting over as an adult? Does the idea of being back in a large classroom as a student feel scary? If this is how you feel, we completely get it.
At Computek, we understand the anxiety that can come with returning to school after a long break,
Especially when adjusting to a new country with unfamiliar cultural and social practices. Pursuing studies abroad can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our dedicated team of advisors is here to support students from all walks of life. They offer personalized, one-on-one assistance both in-person and virtually, and in multiple languages. Additionally, choose the learning format that suits you best - study from the comfort of your home, in-person to foster connections, or a mix of both. We're here to make your educational journey as smooth and supportive as possible.
Enroll in our ECA program to pursue your passion working with children and create the change in your life that you desire now.
