Hi I am in the process of completing the cert 3, but my goal is to study the diploma after the cert 3 as I would like to become a room leader and I would like to know what the pay rate is for all room leaders that hold diplomas and how hard is the diploma as I have heard different stories about the intensity of the diploma
Kind
Regards
Klara

Hi Klara,
Since you have been studying the cert 3 you have the basic knowledge of working in childcare and with the Diploma it will give you more in depth knowledge and prepare you to be a room leader. You will learn about programming, working with diverse families, laws, regulations etc. It can be a little difficult but it's not impossible to complete and if you are looking to be a room leader then you need to complete it. You can have a browse through the Diploma forum to get an idea of the types of questions that may be asked...
In regards to wages it starts at Level 4.1, so you can have a look the following to get an idea of pay:

Hope this helps,
