What can I RPL?
Dr Mary Anne Hall • Nov 26, 2020
When considering which units, you would like to apply for RPL, think about:
- The Qualification outline which can be found at HERE. Make a list of the units you believe you may be able to RPL.
- Go to www.training.gov.au, and search each unit. Consider the list of knowledge and skills required for each unit.
- If you believe you have all the knowledge and skills outlined for the unit, this is a good choice for RPL.
- If you believe you only have some of the knowledge and skills outlined, you should complete the full unit of competency, as training would be required to deem you competent.
Everyone has a different approach to study and here at EPEC Education we encourage our students to find the system that works best for them.
There are now over one million children in Australia going through a family breakdown. This almost always causes stress for children, with over 25% of children experiencing long term trauma as a result. Reduced access to once familiar extended family, the introduction of stepparents and step siblings, and the reduced presence of once consistent parents, can all contribute to children feeling fearful and uncertain. This week, Dr Mary Anne Hall from EPEC Education, provides five ways teachers and carers can assist children in transition while they are at school and at day care.
Supervising children adequately is the most important skill an early childhood educator can have. While having the ability to provide children with a safe and secure environment may seem like an easy task, there are over 1000 cases annually, whereby Australian children are seriously hurt in the early childhood setting. These accidents range from fingers being jammed in doors; dislocation and broken bones; choking; scalds and burns; to children having adverse allergic reactions. These accidents can and do, have dire consequences. This week, Dr Mary Anne Hall from EPEC Education, highlights five factors that should be considered when supervising children.
