Training That Educators Actually Take Back Into Practice

 

HGT EDU offers practical, inspiring professional development for educators, teachers, leaders, and whole service teams.

Our training is designed to feel real, relevant, and easy to apply — not just another session that sounds good on the day and disappears by Monday.

We offer professional development through:

  • Online pre-recorded training
  • Live online sessions
  • Face-to-face in-service training
  • Hosted events and workshops
  • Tailored training packages
  • Training with follow-up coaching or service visits to help embed the learning

Whether your team needs support with play, programming, behaviour, leadership, inclusion, environments, quality improvement, or compliance, we create learning experiences that help educators feel more confident, capable, and connected to their practice.

Why Teams Love HGT EDU Training

Teams love the opportunity to come together and our sessions are practical, engaging and provide teams with a shared language and vision

Our professional development is practical, engaging, and grounded in real early childhood service life.

We know educators are busy. We know teams are carrying a lot. And we know training only matters if it helps people think differently, feel more confident, and do something differently afterwards.

That is why every HGT EDU training session is designed to be clear, relevant, energising, and supported by practical resources educators can actually use.

“Hourglass Time Education offers an impressive range of face-to-face and online training, all of which are highly engaging and delivered through diverse methods. The team consistently provides practical resources, making it easier for educators to implement their learning. Every training session leaves us feeling inspired and motivated, eager to bring fresh ideas back to our Centre.

A heartfelt thank you to Michelle and the Hourglass Time Education team for their dedication to professional development and commitment to elevating the sector. We look forward to continuing this journey of growth and highly recommend their training to all educators seeking meaningful professional learning experiences.”

— Amy May – Centre Director — Magill Campus and Community Children’s Centre

During a Play Fundamentals session we hosted, focused on Play Skills, Learning Dispositions, and Schemas, Michelle’s expert facilitation helped our team better understand how all children learn and engage with their learning environment. We were able to understand the communication and need behind expressed behaviours and learn how to adapt our experiences to accommodate this for each child. This deeper understanding has translated into tangible outcomes, including noticeable improvements in our pedagogical practices, particularly in our responsiveness to children. Additionally, we have seen a positive shift in how everyone—adults and children alike—accesses learning experiences within our Kindergarten setting.
