Course Accreditation

This course is nationally recognised under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

Entry Requirements

There are no formal pre-requisites in the training package for course entry, however ACSE sets a number of its own entry requirements:

  • LLN – Clients must demonstrate Language, Literacy and Numeracy skills in line with AQF qualification level demands and ACSF skill level.  Each client will undergo an LLN assessment during the application process.
  • Learning (ACSF Level 4), reading (ACSF Level 3), writing (ACSF Level 3), oral communication (ACSF Level 3) and numeracy (ACSF Level 3) are desirable to participate in the course. ACSE administers an LLN test based on the desirable ACSF levels.
  • Clients must have access to a regulated education and care service facility that provides early education and care services to school aged and pre-school children. The candidate must be able to fulfill the work placement requirements of the course in a regulated education and care service facility.  Work placement requirements will be discussed with all clients’ pre-enrolment. ACSE will assist where possible with work placement through its network of Little Oz Kids providers and other partner facilities, but can not guarantee students placement. We encourage students to find a facility which suits them geographically and ACSE will assist to broker the position with you.
  • All students will be required to have completed the unit HLTAID004 Provide an emergency first aid response in an education and care setting and have a current Working with Children Check (WWCC) https://www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au/child-safe-organisations/working-with-children-check .
  • Due to the course study requirements and individual employer workplace policy, clients must be able to satisfy the above LLN requirements prior to gaining entry to the course and the First Aid and WWCC prior to work placement.

Resources Required

You will need access to a computer and the internet to complete this course, as there is a requirement to conduct research and complete formative assessment activities away from the class environment.

Once enrolled, you will be emailed your login details to the learning management system. You can then access your course materials in electronic format and download to a flash drive or USB, or access them during class time through the student portal.

The following is a complete list of items we recommend you need, to complete your study program:

  • Broadband Internet Connection (home). Connectivity in class will be provided by ACSE.
  • Personal laptop or tablet to bring to class (highly recommended)
  • Microsoft Office 2010 or later (MS Word at a minimum)
  • Adobe Reader or equivalent
  • You will also need access to a phone, printer, photocopier and scanner
  • Adobe Flash Player 10 or higher
  • Camera (Optional)
  • Skype or Google Hangouts (Optional)

You will not be required to purchase any further reading material or textbooks. However, if you are new to the industry and dedicated to learning about your new career pathway, we recommend the Karen Kearns range of childcare textbooks. These include, Birth to Big School, The Big Picture, The Business of Childcare and Frameworks for Learning and Development.

  • Most of these textbooks can be purchased online

Course Delivery

The CHC50113 Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, is primarily delivered face to face in a classroom environment, with simulated workplace resources and settings.

The program also incorporates a mandatory work placement component, as a number of competencies need to be learned, consolidated, then demonstrated in an active care setting.

The program is also available for those who wish to study by supported distance learning, online through our Student Portal and work self paced.

The qualification is also available by recognition for those candidates who may have extensive experience in the industry or relevant disciplines and/or a combination if formal and informal training. A general benchmark for Diploma level recognition of workplace skills, is 5 years in the industry in question.

All students irrespective of delivery mode, will receive a unique student login at enrolment and be able to access all learning and assessment materials through the Student Portal and the e-learning platform.

Summary Delivery Modes

  • Classroom Face to Face: This is the primary delivery mode for the qualification. All instruction and delivery will take place in a simulated classroom environment and be trainer led. The face to face classroom time will be combined with the mandatory work placement commitment. A complete training schedule will be provided on enrolment, which will give you a week by week training guide and assessment timelines.
  • Blended learning – Self Paced: Your training program is delivered via online self-paced learning. Candidates are guided through the program with the assistance of step by step learning materials, and online support from an ACSE trainer/assessor. You will have regular submission dates for assessment, which will be clearly defined in the Schedule of Training provided at enrolment. You will need to provide strong evidence you have completed 240 hours of work placement in an approved care setting which meets Australian Standards. This will be a combination of signed workplace logbooks, pictures, video and live streaming with assessor.
  • Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL): A formal online process for recognising existing skills and knowledge both formal and informal and work experience. RPL takes into account previous studies you may have completed, as well as life and work skills. You may be granted credits or exemptions for some units in this course based on the evidence you can provide.

Course Duration

  • Classroom Face to Face: The main face to face delivery mode requires a student to attend face to face in a classroom environment, for two days a week over a period of 12 months. All sessions in the classroom will be trainer led. You will also be required to complete 240 hours of mandatory work placement. Work placement will commence in Week 5 of your training program after a number of units to prepare you for placement have been undertaken. An extension of a further 12 months can be granted if extenuating circumstances permit and/or at the discretion of the RTO Manager.
  • Online learning – Self Paced: As the course is online and self-paced, completion rates may vary depending on a clients commitment to study per week and/or previous or current skill level and experience. In general however, learners will be given 12 months to complete the program and should aim to complete one unit per month.
    An extension of a further 12 months can be granted if extenuating circumstances permit and/or at the discretion of the RTO Manager.
    Recommended hrs of study is 15 to 18 hrs per week. Where the learner cohort consists of new entrants or inexperienced workers, they may require a longer time-frame of 20 hrs or more per week.
  • RPL: As RPL is an evidence based approach, the timeline for completion is completely at the discretion of the candidate. Once you have decided on this assessment pathway and have received your RPL kit and information and had an initial interview with a trainer/assessor, the timeline is controlled by you. The sooner you gather evidence to meet the assessment criteria and/or complete any identified gap training, the sooner a qualification outcome can be determined and qualification issued.

Course Units

To successfully complete CHC50113 Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, you must attain a grade of Competent for 28 Units of Competency and Satisfactory for all elements within those units.

ACSE uses the standard VET system of Competent or Not Yet Competent to apply outcomes and does not apply a percentile or hierarchical grading system, as this is competency based training and all competencies must be achieved.

The worst CPR program I have ever attended. Other than the slide show there wasn't anything. The whole session was finished within 30 minutes. Absolutely disgraceful as CPR is very vital to the... services. I had to refresh again by going through the first aid book.read more

I am currently engaged in Cert III Child Care and the institution is very supportive to the students. The course work delivery and timeliness is very good. The staff are helpful to the students and... very cooperative. I had to pause my studies for 6months due to maternity leave and the institution handled the return to leaning in a very supportive and smooth way. I am yet to secure internship placement at a child care centre and I am hopeful that the educators assist with me in near future. I would highly highly recommend this institution to any future students who want to set on this journey for caring for children.read more
