• • Certificate III FAST TRACK in Individual Support (Ageing, Home and Community)

    Are you working in Ageing Support or Home and Community Care and want to be qualified?

    Consultations with industry and health care providers have provided the inspiration for this fast track course. It is for experienced workers who already have most of the required skills and knowledge from working in a broad context of aged/individual care environments with persons needing a wide range of supports. It specialises in both in Ageing, Home and Community Care and reflects the role of support workers in residential or community settings who follow an individualised plan to provide person-centred service. Learners will graduate with dual specialisation in ageing, home and community care and a pathway to Certificate IV Aged Care.
