Qualifications Needed For Director/2IC

[sevans]

Doing diploma and need to know what qualifications a director and assistant directors need. I know they need a diploma but is there anything else?

Hi Sevans,

Yes, you're right you would need to have a diploma for this position and also it's also favorable if you have an advance diploma. In the advance diploma you study about how to run and manage a childcare service. It's not necessary to have this but it will give you a bit more opportunity if you're interested in applying for this sort of position.

Thanks for that but isn't there also levels or bands?

[Lorina]

Levels or bands are based on the amount of time you have held your diploma. So if you have had your diploma for 3 years I think you will be in level 4.3. However this also depends on your experience and how long you've been working in childcare.

You must at least have had a year or more experience when applying for a director's role so best bet to start as an authorized supervisor and work your way up....

How long until you finish your diploma?
