Work Placement Requirements
This course has a requirement that students must demonstrate the skills and knowledge of the units during a work placement of no less than 240 hours. This work placement must be completed in a Regulated Education and Care Service with children ages between o to 5 years.
Students who are already working within a Regulated Education and Care Service can use their own workplace and use their employment hours to obtain the 240 hours.
Where a student is not in the workplace, students will be required to find a suitable center to undertake their Workplace experience.
Where a student is working in a centre that does not cater for all ages e.g. 0 to 5 years; then they may be required to find another centre to perform the set skills for a particular age group.
