A message to our past students
You worked for the qualification.
Now let it work for you.
Maybe life got busy after the last class. Maybe work, family or transport made it difficult to close the final account. We understand that real life can interrupt a good plan.
Lesia's is inviting completed students with outstanding fees to come back to the conversation. Ask for your statement, make a plan to settle what remains, collect the certificate or diploma you worked hard to earn and take the next step with confidence.

Close the balance.
Collect the proof. Move forward.
Your certificate or diploma should not stay in the background of your story. Take one clear action at a time and let the Lesia's team help you understand what is still needed.
Request my student statement ↗Settle the remaining fees
Pay the outstanding school fees using payment instructions confirmed through an official Lesia's channel. Keep your proof of payment.
Confirm your collection
Once the account is updated, ask admissions to confirm that your certificate or diploma is ready and agree the date, time and venue.
Collect and start applying
Take your original document, save clear digital copies and add the exact qualification title, level and credits to your CV.
Important: outstanding balances differ from student to student. Ask for your current statement and payment instructions directly from Lesia's. Do not send payment to an unverified account.
Why the document matters
Turn years of effort into career evidence.
For students who completed the relevant ETDP SETA quality-assured pathway, the certificate or diploma gives your learning a clear, portable form. It helps people understand what you studied—while keeping the real-world requirements of each job in view.
Show formal learning
Give an employer something specific to understand: your qualification title, NQF level, credits and the programme record behind your ECD training.
Strengthen each application
Attach a clear scan to your CV and use the exact award wording when applying for suitable practitioner, assistant, preschool or ECD support roles.
Open better conversations
A completed record can help you speak with ECD centres, preschools, aftercare programmes and community organisations from a stronger starting point.
Plan the next level
Keep your documents ready when exploring further study, recognition of prior learning or additional short courses—subject to the next institution's requirements.
Use the identifiers, not just the title
Know exactly what you are carrying forward.
“ETDP SETA accredited” is often used as a shorthand. The accurate value of your award depends on the exact programme, qualification and provider record that applies to your studies. Use the details below as a starting point, then confirm your individual outcome with admissions.

Keep expectations honest. Your certificate or diploma proves your completed learning. It is not an automatic job offer, SACE registration, Grade R teaching licence or approval to operate an ECD centre. Employers and regulators may require additional qualifications, experience, documents or checks.

Straight answers
Before you come in, know the next move.
