This qualification reflects the role of workers in a range of early
childhood education settings who work within the requirements
of the Education and Care Services National Regulations and the
National Quality Standard. They support the implementation of an
approved learning framework, and support children’s wellbeing,
learning and development. Depending on the setting, educators
may work under direct supervision or autonomously
Course Structure
This qualification is made up of 28 stand alone units of competency (23 core and 5 elective units); however, they have been sequenced and structured into 13 clusters to train and assess units of competency together that have common skills and knowledge or because they share a common work function and based on industry consultation. The course is structured to provide a logical, efficient learning sequence.
