The candidate must show evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit, manage tasks and manage contingencies in the context of the job role. There must be demonstrated evidence that the candidate has completed the following tasks at least once:

• worked collaboratively with at least one other educator to implement an approved learning framework within an approved education and care service, including:

• investigating and documenting at least two examples of how the learning framework is demonstrated in the service
• researching and documenting at least one example of how each principle of the learning framework is reflected in the service
• working closely with others and under supervision to help implement the framework
• reflecting on and discussing practice with supervisor and others
• investigated and documented their own involvement in at least three examples of pedagogical practices in the service.

The candidate must be able to demonstrate essential knowledge required to effectively do the task outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit, manage the task and manage contingencies in the context of the work role. These include knowledge of:

• how to access:

• Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia

• the relevant approved learning framework used in the service if different from those above

• how to navigate through framework documents to find areas relevant to this unit of competency
• United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
• key participants in the implementation of the relevant approved learning framework
• organisational standards, policies and procedures.

Skills must be demonstrated in a regulated education and care service.

In addition, simulations and scenarios must be used where the full range of contexts and situations cannot be provided in the workplace or may occur only rarely. These are situations relating to emergency or unplanned procedures where assessment in these circumstances would be unsafe or is impractical.

Simulated assessment environments must simulate the real-life working environment where these skills and knowledge would be performed, with all the relevant equipment and resources of that working environment.

Assessment must ensure use of:

• National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education and Care
• the relevant approved learning framework under the National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education and Care.

Assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
