Hi!
Sorry for the long title. I was wondering whether having completed a Certificate 3 in Early Childhood Education and Care, would mean that when i complete my Diploma it would be shortened or not and if so by how much and in which ways?
Thanks,
Freya

Hi Freya,
It was a while ago, but I did complete my Cert 3 before going on to complete my Diploma. Unfortunately, I didn't get any credits towards my Diploma.
I do know of some who have received RPL for their work in a Centre though. Our director helped along with their Tafe teacher to obtain some credits towards their Diploma based on their workplace experience.
In saying this, it was a while ago I did my Cert 3 and Diploma so things may have changed now.

If you have recently completed your cert 3 you should be able to go on quickly with your diploma and only do the diploma questions.
