Early Childhood Education Traineeships

You will receive assessments to complete based on your current role (employee or placement volunteer) and daily tasks. Assessments will be marked by your trainer who will visit you once a month at your workplace and communicate with you throughout the month. There is no need to attend campus or classes, except for a one-day first aid course held on our Clayton campus.

Some key differences are:

Workplace-based training can be undertaken either by employees or volunteers. Volunteers cannot undertake traineeships.

Traineeships need to be approved by the VRQA under a training contract and trainees need to be signed up with an apprenticeship centre.

The employers of trainees doing approved traineeships may be eligible for wage subsidies and incentive payments when trainees commence and complete their training.

This course is available at:
• Your workplace (metropolitan Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula). Please contact us to discuss availability in other Victorian locations.

Students are required to fill out a Language Literacy and Numeracy assessment during the enrolment process. Suitable written and spoken English is required for enrolment.

During enrolment students will also undergo a pre-training review which will help make sure this course is right for you.
Students undergoing this course must also have a Working with Children Check before enrolling into this course as it is required in the workplace.
Students must be 16 years or over. Students who are aged 16 are required to have an Exemption from Schooling letter (please contact us if you need help to obtain this letter).
Our qualifications can be done fulltime or part time. For full-time enrolments you must be employed full-time. For part time enrolments you must be employed for a minimum of 13 hours per week.

Enrolments are accepted all year round and you can start your training once we have finalised your enrolment paperwork and allocated a trainer to you.
