Pursue a fulfilling career in the community services industry with the Certificate III in Aged Care.
This course is ideal for those who want to formalise their existing community work skills and those who wish to work in aged care facilities and care for the elderly.
You’ll gain the knowledge and skills required to work as an assistant in nursing (AIN) or personal care assistant (PCA) in an aged care facility, a community support worker, a home care assistant or a community care worker.
As part of the course assessment, you’ll need to undertake supervised work placement for a total of 115 hours in residential aged care. This placement will need to be pre-approved by OTEN. This will help prepare you for professional work in the community services industry in aged care work.
You must also complete a Senior First Aid certificate in order to receive the Certificate III in Aged Care.
Because Ballinger vocational courses are developed in consultation with relevant industry and community groups, you can rest assured that your qualification is highly valued by industry employers, education and training providers and the wider community.
This aged care work certificate has been developed under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), so it’s government-accredited as well as a nationally recognised course.
Your TAFE qualification is likely to receive credit at a number of Australian universities.
