CHC50113 Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care

This qualification reflects the role of early childhood educators who are responsible for designing and implementing curriculum in early childhood education and care services. In doing so they work to implement an approved learning framework within the requirements of the Education and Care Services National Regulations and the National Quality Standard.

They may have responsibility for supervision of volunteers of other staff.

Under the Education and Care Services National Law (2011) the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) publishes lists of approved early childhood education and care qualifications and information regarding regulatory requirements here: www.acecqa.gov.au

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

  1. The Australian Early Childhood College (AECC) believes training occurs best in a workplace, and our assessment program requires that students have regular access to the work environment. Therefore, students must be employed or work as a volunteer, in a regulated children's service. If you do not currently meet this requirement, you must contact the office to determine if our training program will meet your needs.
  2. Due to industry regulations age limits may apply.
  3. If you are interested in public funding arrangements it is a requirement that you are an Australian Citizen, Permanent Resident or on an approved visa pathway that leads to Permanent Residency (please contact the main office if you have any queries regarding Visa Pathways).

 

DURATION

18 – 24 months

DELIVERY MODES

AECC uses a blended delivery mode. You will be allocated an individual trainer and assessor who will tailor the course to your, and your employer’s, needs. You will complete your qualification through a mixture of distance material, training in the workplace, and phone and email support.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS

Successful completion of this course requires the completion of 28 units of competency of which 23 are core units (compulsory) and five are elective units. These are delivered in a Clustered approach, meaning that rather than completing up to 28 individual assessment tasks, dependant on your individual program, it may be delivered in as little as 6 Clusters.
