CHC30121 – Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care
This qualification reflects the role of educators in early childhood education and care who
work in regulated children’s education and care services in Australia. They support children’s
wellbeing, and development in the context of an approved learning framework. Educators
use a range of well-developed skills and knowledge using discretion and judgment when
carrying out their work in the context of established policies and procedures. They may work
independently or under the guidance of others, though in some contexts that guidance may
not be on-site.
Early childhood educators work in long day care centres, family day care, pre-schools, or
kindergartens.
To achieve this qualification, the individual must have completed a total of least 160 hours of
work in a regulated children’s education and care service in Australia as detailed in the
Assessment Requirements of units of competency. The total number of hours may be applied
collectively across all units of competency that include the requirement for workplace hours.
