I have a full cert 3 and have been employed as an assistant educator for almost 2 years. I started a diploma corse and have credit transferred the Cert 3 so am just making up the units to complete.
My line manager several months ago (before starting my diploma) had said that when our current room leader takes leave- which will now be in about a months time - she would like me to take over as room leader as I have been doing a lot of the planning etc already. Fast forward to last week and I am now told i cannot do it because I am not 50% through my diploma.
I have 3 of 10 units left to complete, and thought a Cert 3 was literally half the diploma - am i incorrect?
My course tutor indicated that some centres calculate it differently but is having student services send me a letter to outline how much progress i have made. Its very frustrating because i am one week off completing the practical hours requirement and submitting my skills workbook, i have one unit that i can submit this week after my manager signs of the risk assessment. But marking timeframes are 4-6 weeks so i may not have results in time for them to be considered.
Am i being oversensitive about the sudden change in plan when it wasnt a problem before i started the diploma. My manager has said that i can do all the planning if i want to but she wont consider me a room leader without a letter from my course provider and a transcript. (So she will let me do the job without paying for it)
Id really appreciate any thoughts or opinions on this. ACECQA specifies that you can be counted as working towards a diploma if you have completed all the Cert 3 elements - i've clearly done this so am not sure what to do next.
Thanks
