Semester two 2018 course is planned to commence August 2018
Course Outline – Certificate III in Individual Support
This qualification reflects the role of workers in the community and/or residential setting who follow an individualised plan to provide person-centered support to people who may require support due to ageing, disability or some other reason. Work involves using discretion and judgement in relation to individual support as well as taking responsibility for own outputs. Workers have a range of factual, technical and procedural knowledge, as well as some theoretical knowledge of the concepts and practices required to provide person-centered support.
This qualification increases your value as an employee as you learn skills which can be applied across disciplines. You will be required to undertake a minimum of 120 hours work placement which we will source for you and which is the practical component to enable you to apply your classroom learned skills. Our programs are delivered face to face by educators with many years’ experience in the sector.
COURSE DELIVERY:
- Completion of full qualification preparing you for the sector and building foundational knowledge.
- Work placement will enable you to transfer your theoretical learning into a workplace.
- One/ Two days per week 9:30am-3pm.
This entry-level qualification affords you many great opportunities including further qualifications, pathways into other areas within the sector or as the beginning of your journey into University to study nursing. We can help you explore all these options and develop a career pathway plan to help you on your way.
To achieve this qualification, the candidate must have completed at least 120 hours of work as detailed in the Assessment Requirements of the units of competency.

More Information:
The health and community services sector continues to experience rapid demand growth. Employment opportunities in this rewarding industry are plentiful and a number of career pathways are available by completing this course. In order to respond to the growing demand new qualifications have been developed which enable personal care assistants to work across a broader selection of employment opportunities without the need to undertake a series of qualifications.
What you need to know?
From January 2016 Certificate III in Individual Support (CHC33015) replaces three previous qualifications:
– Certificate III in Aged Care (CHC30212)
– Certificate III in Disability (CHC30408)
– Certificate III in Home and Community Care (CHC30312)
This makes perfect sense as a role as a personal care assistant is rarely limited to caring only for the elderly or only for the disabled. However, it also gives the flexibility to specialise within a particular area if you so choose – you will see some of our programs have been highlighted as a specialisation.
