This qualification reflects the role of educators in early childhood education and care who work in regulated children’s education and care services in Australia. They support children’s wellbeing, and development in the context of an approved learning framework. Educators use a range of well-developed skills and knowledge using discretion and judgment when carrying out their work in the context of established policies and procedures. They may work independently or under the guidance of others, though in some contexts that guidance may not be on-site.

Early childhood educators work in long day care centres, family day care, pre-schools or kindergartens.

To achieve this qualification, the individual must have completed a total of least 160 hours of work in a regulated children’s education and care service in Australia as detailed in the Assessment Requirements of units of competency. The total number of hours may be applied collectively across all units of competency that include the requirement for workplace hours.

The program is intended to be delivered across a 44 week period (38 weeks + 6 weeks holidays) but some students may require additional time to prepare for demonstration of knowledge and practical skills. As such, CLJ Training offers a further extension to the program to allow for this additional time. Trainers/assessors control the release of learning materials and assessments to students based on their individual progress. Trainers/assessors determine the individual’s readiness for assessment based on their weekly interactions and observations of the student.

No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.
