WAYS Youth Training is the RTO arm of WAYS Youth & Family — working with young people across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs since 1979. We deliver nationally accredited qualifications in Early Childhood Education and Care, Community Services, and Business.
You don’t need to know which qualification fits before you reach out. The discovery conversation walks through your goals, funding options, and the timeline that fits your life.
The training is subsidised by the NSW Government for eligible students. Smart & Skilled subsidies bring fees down — some students pay $0, others have a small contribution based on eligibility. Fee-for-service options if not eligible. RTO 90114.
