Learning Outcomes

As part of this course, students will also be required to undertake practical placement for a minimum of 160 hours. During this placement, learners will be involved in all aspects of a childcare centre and will work under the supervision of a qualified employee of the childcare centre. The trainer will contact the student and the workplace supervisor from time to time (as agreed in the work placement agreement) to check progress. Students cannot progress into the practical work placement of the course until they have successfully completed all assessment requirements for the theoretical component and have demonstrated appropriate skills required for practical work placement.

The time spent by the student in work placement in this course is critical to ensure that the student participates in regular work over the course duration. This is necessary to allow for a workplace context in the assessment and workplace observation which is a requirement for every unit. All students are required to maintain a work placement logbook to record their worked hours and the age groups care was provided for.

Student who are already working in the early childhood sector as an educator in approved centre-based care are encouraged to use their existing workplace to complete these practical placement hours providing it meets the requirement’s necessary to conduct assessment. Students who are not already working in early childhood may nominate an accredited early childhood education and care service for their practical placement. Milcom Institute can assist students who need to find a work placement using its network in the early childhood sector.
