The competencies will be assessed both off and on the job, and the training modules are relevant to what is reflected in today's workforce. All units of competency have a theory based component, which students will work through. This will be combined with "on the job" practical component.
The key clients for this qualification are:
- Students wishing to undertake study in the child care field, who have not worked in the sector and have not completed any study in this area.
- Partially qualified child care staff wishing to complete their qualification.
- People working in the Child Care sector as unqualified staff and want to complete their qualifications.
Once successfully completed, the Certificate III students can then move onto the Diploma of Community Services (Children's Services), enabling them to operate as a qualified team member in both long day and out of school hours care across Australia.
