QCAN have been funded by the Queensland Government to develop an OSHC Educator Microcredential. This microcredential is being developed as an industry partnership.

A microcredential is a short certification course that allows you to learn new professional skills very quickly. 

The training and assessment for the microcredential will consist of:

• Six focus areas 
• Delivered over 2 x 3 hour online sessions, 3-4 weeks apart with assessment tasks to be completed during each session
• Workplace supervisor report and log to be completed after each session.

These tasks are  grounded in the everyday practice of educators in OSHC.

Focus Areas:

• Legal and Professional Responsibilities of Educators Working within the NQF 
• Duty of Care and Child Protection Responsibilities of an OSHC Educator
• Work Health and Safety and Managing Risks in OSHC 
• Designing and Delivering Experiences in OSHC (in a manner that accords with the Approved Learning Framework) 
• Relationships with Children (including Behaviour Guidance and Support) 
• Effective Supervision and Safe OSHC Environments 

All participants are required to have access to a device with camera and microphone for both training dates. A PDF writable assessment workbook needs to be completed during the session and submitted at the end via email.
