Certificate
This course is designed for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people either wishing to enter or already working in the area of community development. Our courses are delivered by well qualified and experienced Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander teachers within a community setting. We use Aboriginal learning techniques such as yarning circles to come up with ideas, learn from each other and build on existing life skills & experiences. Additional tutorial hours are on offer should you require extra support with your assessments. The course is designed to provide you with the skills and techniques for designing and developing community projects while enhancing community capacity to address problems and issues that they have identified. Many of our graduates have gained jobs in the field of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous community organisations.
The preferred pathway is for all learners to complete a Certificate III in Community Services at CIT (CHC32015).
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 learning and success.
To study any course at CIT (excluding degrees and non-accredited training) you must have a Unique Student Identifier (USI).
