Unqualified ECT student just hired

Post by nc2018 » Fri May 18, 2018 6:45 pm

Hi there,

I'm in Victoria and am three quarters of the way through my degree (will be finishing mid-2019) with no prior experience aside from placements. I'm wondering whether I count as a cert 3 equivalent or diploma equivalent room assistant?

Thank you in advance!

According to ACECQA:
Certificate III and diploma
You are considered actively working towards an approved certificate III level qualification if you can provide documentary evidence from the course provider to your approved provider that you are:

enrolled in the course and have started study
making satisfactory progress towards completing the course
meeting the requirements to maintain enrolment.
You are considered actively working towards an approved diploma level qualification if you can satisfy all of the above and one of the following:

hold an approved certificate III level qualification OR
have completed the approved certificate III units OR
have completed 30% of the units in an approved ECT qualification.


Hope this helps!
