About Us

Australia's Nationwide Leader in Flexible, Localised Support

ITAC is a well-established Registered Training Organisation with students in every state and territory. We began in 2009 when our founder and current CEO, a high-school teacher, began teaching local parents who wanted to become teacher assistants. His flexible yet structured approach grew steadily, and ITAC is now the largest provider of education support training in Australia.

While ITAC support a wide range of learners, our students are typically mature adults with an average age of 37. Recognising the challenges faced by those balancing work, family, and study, we’ve built our courses and support systems around flexibility, structure, and real-world relevance – an approach that has defined ITAC from the beginning.

Our Mission

To deliver flexible, efficient training that meets the needs of adult learners and produces capable, job-ready graduates.

Our Vision

To be Australia’s leading provider of flexible, efficient training pathways for adult learners.

This is a wonderful community that inspires and carries such a wonderful energy which is inviting. Genuinely, they provide the best support system that not only guides and instructs you, but communicates to you in the most kindest, respectful manner. Ive had many inconveniences which have caused miner issues but not only was I offered information on how to navigate the situations, I was provided with support from the whole community! Not only do I highly recommend to join them because of what I?ve stated but they are also empathetic, lovely people who support uplifting and compassionate practices in their day to day lives, individuals ideas and who you are as a person alone.

I recently completed my CHC40225 Certificate IV in School Based Education Support through ITAC.

Just finished my Teacher Aide Combo course and got my certificate! 🎓 It took a little longer than expected since I was 60 when I started, and I almost gave up. But the amazing ITAC staff encouraged me to finish and found a solution for me. They were incredibly helpful and always willing to lend a hand! 🙏

I had an amazing experience with ITAC. I completed my certificate 3 and 4 together. The instructors were approachable and friendly, helping out whenever I got stuck. I also got a teaching support job after completing the certificates. The workload is easy to manage with a job and the whole process was welcoming. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

I am currently studying through the Institute of Teacher Aide Courses (ITAC) while completing my childcare placement. My experience with ITAC has been very positive from the beginning. The course materials are easy to follow, and the staff are always helpful and supportive whenever I need assistance.

I recently had my workplace assessment with my trainer, Amy Ferguson, and it was a wonderful experience. I was quite nervous beforehand, but Amy's friendly smile and warm personality immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She was easy to talk to, professional, and provided valuable guidance regarding my studies and future career goals.

Amy was thorough in her assessment while also being supportive and encouraging. After the visit, my nominated supervisor and other staff members at my placement centre also commented on how lovely and professional she was.

I highly recommend ITAC to anyone considering a career in education or early childhood education. The course is well organised, easy to navigate, and the support from trainers like Amy makes the learning experience enjoyable and rewarding.

Thank you, ITAC and Team for your support and encouragement throughout my studies!

I highly recommend ITAC to anyone considering a Teacher?s Aide course. Completing this course has been such a positive and rewarding experience from beginning to end.

The entire team at ITAC is incredibly supportive, professional, approachable and genuinely friendly. The program is designed in such a thoughtful and flexible way that it can suit different learning styles, schedules, speeds and life situations, which made studying feel achievable and encouraging at every stage.

A very special thank you to Louise, my lecturer and assessor, who was absolutely amazing throughout the course. She is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, supportive, encouraging and motivating, but above all, genuinely kind. Her guidance and positive attitude made such a difference to my confidence and learning experience.

I?m truly grateful for everything I learned and for all the support I received. Thank you, ITAC, for helping me take this important step toward my future career!

I had a very positive experience completing my Certificate III and IV in Education Support with ITAC. The course was well structured, relevant, and practical, making it directly applicable to working in a school environment. The learning resources were clear and supportive, and I felt well guided throughout the entire course.

A special shout out to my assessor, Ms Kylie Walters, who was absolutely fantastic. Ms Kylie was supportive, approachable, and professional, and she provided clear, constructive feedback that helped me grow in confidence and understanding. Her encouragement and responsiveness made a real difference to my learning journey.

I would highly recommend ITAC to anyone looking to pursue a career in education support. Thank you for a great learning experience!
