Real workplace experienceYou may need to complete work placement as part of your qualification, putting into practice your newly acquired skills and building valuable networks with employers and other learners who are undertaking the same qualification. These placements are conducted with early childhood education and care centres outside the BCC Institute campuses, but are all within the Sydney Metropolitan area.

BCC Institute will source a suitable work placement venue for all international students enrolled in a qualification which includes a work placement component. Students may wish to suggest an organisation they want to undertake placement at, however this will be subject to BCC Institute’s approval.

Note: For most work placements you will require a Working With Children Check (WWCC). The WWCC will need to be conducted in Australia.

You will be provided with a work placement logbook outlining tasks relating to your qualification if it requires work placement. You will be required to complete the workbook during your placement, logging the hours of practical work you have undertaken during your studies. Your trainer will come to visit you during your placement and you will be allocated a supervisor at the placement organisation who will confirm your tasks.

When signed by your supervisor or supervisor/s, this logbook will become a record of activities that you have participated in and will help to confirm the theory you are learning during your face to face training sessions.

There is a section to outline or provide additional evidence that will confirm your learning such as simulations from face to face classes or previous experience – your trainer will be able to assist you in filling out this section.

Your work placement agreement forms are an integral part of this process. It will contain the placement address, approval, etc. Please ensure that you are familiar with the content in the work placement agreement.

For further assistance contact your trainer.

Industry based learningWe teach you skills and knowledge for the workforce. Industry (competency) based training is centred on the concept of learning and using new, transferable skills and knowledge. Vocational training emphasises job readiness and the ability to do a first class job in a workplace.

When completing an accredited training course with BCC Institute, you will be studying units from nationally recognised training packages – the qualification will be accepted everywhere in Australia.

Australian competency standards are universal and describe the specific work activities, skills and types of evidence which demonstrate your competence. The assessment of these units of competency confirm that you have relevant skills and knowledge and will be able to use what you have learnt in different contexts.

If you receive a mark of ‘not yet competent’ you will be given suggestions for improvement and the opportunity to resubmit evidence of your competency.
