What is a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care? (CHC50113)

A diploma is one of the highest levels of education you can achieve without entering into a university-level study, surpassed only by an advanced diploma within the TAFE environment. A diploma can be completed as a standalone study, after a Certificate III or IV, or as a pathway to a university course. 

Early Childhood usually covers the ages of birth to eight years of age, and education and care covers a range of areas, from children’s play with one another and interaction with toys and other stimuli to understanding numeracy and literacy.

During a CHC50113 Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, you’ll be required to complete a number of core units and elective units that cover everything from early childhood services to attaining a working with children check. Some of these subjects (including their course code) may be:

  • HLTAID004 First Aid Course for Teachers and Carers
  • CHCECE016 Establish and Maintain a Healthy Environment for Children
  • CHCECE017 Foster the Holistic Development and Wellbeing of the Child in Early Childhood
  • CHCECE018 Nurture Creativity in Children 
  • CHCECE019 Facilitate Compliance in an Education and Care Setting
  • CHCECE020 Establish and Implement Plans for Developing Cooperative Behaviour 
  • CHCDIV002 Promote Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Cultural Safety

Why study a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care?

A Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care clearly demonstrates to employers that you understand the theory of the work that you’ll be undertaking. Depending on which RTO you do your course through, you may have also had the opportunity to undertake varying degrees of work experience, including a traineeship or other work placement. A diploma shows that you’re either ready to start work, or can be used as recognition of prior learning in order for you to undertake further study, such as a bachelor of education. 

How to study

There is a range of options for Early Childhood Education and Care. If you don’t meet the current entry requirements, you could consider completing another study first or organising a credit transfer. If you’ve already worked in the industry in something like a family daycare or community services, then some RTO’s will consider your previous experience as equivalent. International students should inquire with CRICOS to ensure that they’re eligible for courses.

There are a number of part-time study options available for students who already have a significant workload or other commitments, as well as full-time options for those who want to start working in children’s services asap.  Course fees, tuition fees, payment options, start dates all vary depending on the facility. 

If you want to work in Australian child care, then a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care could be perfect for you! Enquire about a specific course above to get started!
