The women, who came from Chinese, Persian and Kurdish backgrounds, all gained SVQ Level 2 in Early Years Care and Education, along with certificates in hygiene and first aid.
They are the second cohort to have completed the training. The project was initially developed by the Council in 2001 and funded by the European Social Fund.
The project targeted women who had a strong desire to work with children but lacked the confidence to attend mainstream courses because they did not speak fluent English. The council provided Cantonese, Farsi and Arabic interpreters.
A total of 19 women have now completed the training course, which was delivered in partnership with the Association of Quality Nurseries Scotland and Aberdeen College.
