The work placement will be be organised by individual students with endorsement from TAFE NSW via a letter of introduction from the teaching section to verify your enrolment in the Education Support qualification for the school that you are requesting work placement experience.

Work placement is an opportunity to learn on the job and complete assessment requirements and often leads to employment opportunities. You need to meet the following requirements to be able to undertake work placement. Your teacher will let you know when you need to provide evidence of:

• A Working with Children Check (WWCC)
• Vaccination and health screenings
• Any additional evidence your work placement provider requires

The Public Health (COVID -19 Vaccination of Education and Care Workers) Order 2021 states that anyone working on a NSW school site – government and non-government schools, including students on student placement, must be fully vaccinated. If you are not vaccinated we cannot assure you that this component of your course can be organized or fulfilled, which will impact your ability to successfully course complete.

This 12 month course requires your participation in a combination of face to face and virtual classes, plus work placement, for a minimum of 3 days per week for 36 delivery weeks, and is classified as full time study. The course is delivered across 4 school terms with term breaks.

This delivery can be coupled with work in a classroom environment catering to primary or secondary school students or other employment or commitments.

If this does not sound like you, we have other delivery options that may better suit you. Students will require regular access to, and have the ability to use a computer and internet. This could either be

your personal device or can be accessed at your local campus.

We look forward to supporting you in reaching your career goals.
