Certificate
If you have a passion for caring for people, want to work in one of the fastest growing industries in Australia, or simply want to know how to care for your parents or grandparents when they get older, our Certificate III in Individual Support (Aged Care) course will help you achieve your goals.
We understand your passion in helping others. That's why we've created a course that supports and fosters your enthusiasm.
Caring for individuals requires you to be knowledgeable within a wide range of specialised areas. In 7 months, our course will prepare you for working under supervision in an Aged Care facility or within a Home and Community care setting. You will be required to undertake a 4 week block work placement (which is five days per week - 120 Hours) to ensure that you can practically apply what you learn in class.
Before you can start your practical placement, you will need to provide the following compulsory requirements:
