About this course

This course is designed for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people either wishing to enter or already working in the community services sector. This qualification will enable you to provide day-to-day support to individuals and groups under the broad direction of others. It will prepare you to have direct contact with clients, identify presenting needs and refer to appropriate services and support. Our courses are delivered by well qualified and experienced Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander teachers within a community setting. We understand that sitting at desks and reading words from a board is not always the best process of learning. We build into your studies assistance with reading & writing and with your assessment tasks should this be required. This course has been designed as an entry pathway into the Certificate IV in Alcohol and other Drugs.

Entry requirements

On entry, you will need to demonstrate appropriate literacy skills by undertaking a literacy assessment. We have embedded literacy into our course to support your overall learning and success.
