Career Outcomes
This degree provides graduates with the opportunity to be employed in childcare centres and services. Graduates are not eligible for teacher registration in Queensland.

Professional Recognition
The Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies is an approved child care qualification with the Queensland Government Department of Communities and is accredited by the New South Wales Department of Community Services for employment in children's services.

Graduates of the Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies are not eligible for teacher registration with the Queensland College of Teachers.

Working with Children Check
Working With Children Check - As required by the Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian Act (2000), student teachers must undergo a criminal history check and be issued with a Suitability Card (Blue Card) by the Commission.

As soon as you enter your enrolment program for the course, you must submit your Blue Card application to the QUT Student Centre immediately. You must hold a Blue Card to undertake activities in any unit which involves contact with children, including the required field studies blocks.

If you do not apply for a Blue Card immediately upon enrolment in the course and allow sufficient time for the police check and issuing of the Card, you will be unable to participate in the required activities and may need to be withdrawn from the unit(s) and incur both financial and academic penalty. It may take up to 8 weeks for the Commission to issue the Card.

Computing
The increased and more creative use of online teaching technology in this degree requires that you have access to suitable computer facilities with a minimum equivalent of a Pentium 3 processor, 56k modem and internet access.

Advanced Standing
