Certificate
The Certificate IV in School Based Education Support will provide you with the practical skills and knowledge to support students with a range of abilities and needs, including those with diagnosed disability. You will also learn how to support teaching staff in schools in kindergarten, pre-primary, primary, secondary and education support schools, centres or units.
You have the opportunity to complete this course through full-time study on campus over 6 months (or you may choose to complete it part-time over 12 months). There is also an online option delivered over 12 months, which is a little different to on-campus study as you do not have face to face contact with your lecturers. If on-campus study is not your preference, then online study is a great option. You will be supported by your online lecturers and completing your course via an online platform which contains all your study material and assessments. You will be provided a login and password to access this material once you have been enrolled at North Metropolitan TAFE.
No matter how you choose to study, as part of this qualification you will need to undertake a supervised work placement where you will be able to apply the skills and knowledge you have learned in a classroom setting. Students are required to obtain a Working with Children Check and a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (Education Department WA) before attending work placement.
The online delivery will be done via Collaborate sessions (on Blackboard), which are live classes run online with a lecturer taking you through the training.
We also offer an Aboriginal Islander Education Officer (AIEO) program. Find out more about our AIEO program.
