At the AIECS we have many students enrol in our courses who are not necessarily working in the Child Care Industry but may plan to in the future. You may choose to complete the theory aspect of the course first through the training modules and complete your practicum requirements at a later stage in your course if more convenient, although we do encourage that your practical hours are done throughout your course as you need to put into practice what you are learning.
Students need to be aware that they to complete a minimum of 160 placement hours for Certificate III or a minimum of 280 placement hours for Diploma before they successfully meet the practical requirements and should take this in to consideration when planning when to commence their practicum. 
Some assessments require access to a service for observation, documentation and following policies and procedures. If you are looking for a service to complete your practicum in, you can approach Child Care centres within your local area to enquire if you could be placed there for volunteer work or paid employment if available.
AIECS will be able to assist so don’t hesitate to check with your trainer or with our administration staff.
