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 recognize the anxiety that may come with going back to school after years of being away from it.

Especially when you are in a new country and exposed to new cultural and social practices, pursuing studies abroad can feel extremely overwhelming. To help combat this, Computek has a dedicated team of advisors who effortlessly work to help students from different walks of life. They provide one-on-one in-person and virtual support, and many of them can speak in multiple languages, too. Computek also offers flexible formats and allow students to complete their studies online at the comfort of their home.

Enroll in our ECA program to pursue your passion working with children and create the change in your life that you desire now.
