Education Support Draft 2 Validation
Feedback closed 09.09.2019
The Education Support Draft 2 Qualifications and Units of Competency are now available for public consultation. These Training Package Products have been updated based on feedback received during the Draft 1 consultation period from November 2017-March 2018, as well as throughout the current consultation period for the Draft 2 Early Childhood Education and Care and School Age Care material.
The Draft 2 Education Support qualifications and units of competency have been complex due to a number of factors including
- Clarification of the job roles
- The separation of the early childhood (ECE) units from the existing qualifications
- Concerns expressed in relation to the structure and content of the Draft 1 Education Support (EDS) qualifications, and validated with data provided by a key stakeholder
We encourage those people who are active in the Education Support sector to review the Draft 2 Material and provide comment and feedback to guide the final draft.
