Yippie well done
I would advertise now you can explain that you are waiting for your certificate when you get the calls
Some people do not want an immediate start anyway
Good luck hope you get calls soon

Hi there,
I started this March, but advertised from the January - anyone who rings you can still come have a look round and you can just explain you are awaiting your certificate, and get their details so that you can contact them.
Good luck, hope it all goes really well for you.

Definitely start advertising, you may get a call from someone not wishing to start straight away. As you say you could show potential parents your insurance etc, I am sure they would be happy to wait to see your certificate.
Good luck, hope the calls start rolling in soon.

I'm in a similar postion with my First Aid certificate i.e. it still hasn't arrived, although I completed the course about 6 weeks ago. I'm advertising myself as First Aid trained and will explain the situation to parents. After all, they can always phone the college to check if they want. I guess the same goes for Weeteeny's certificate too.
If we all hung around waiting for elusive certificates, there'd be a childcare crisis ;D
Good luck with the ads and hope you get a response soon.
