About this course

This qualification reflects the role of support workers who complete specialised tasks and functions
in aged services; either in residential, home or community-based environments. Workers will take
responsibility for their own outputs within defined organisation guidelines and maintain quality
service delivery through the development, facilitation and review of individualised service planning
and delivery. This course is suitable for existing Aged Care Workers.

Workers may be required to demonstrate leadership and have limited responsibility for the
organisation and the quantity and quality of outputs of others within limited parameters.

Enable College graduates emerge with the required skills, knowledge and practical workplace
experience to care for and support older people in a variety of settings.

Delivery

The CHC43015-Certificate IV in Ageing support is offered as both full time and part time through our blended learning model. As part of this course, you will also have the opportunity to experience real-life situations through work placement.

Full-time training: This usually allows you to complete your course in a shorter amount of time and involves a workload of around 30 hours per week. There is an expectation that students will need to submit a minimum of two assessments per month.

Part-time training: This option will take more time to complete than the full-time option. The workload is generally around 15 hours per week. There is an expectation that students will need to submit a minimum of one assessment per month.

External Learning

Learning materials are provided to you to work through at home. As Units of Competency are successfully completed we will send you the next units for the course. Whilst most of the course can be completed this way you will still be required to attend specific Practical Sessions/workshops and your Work Placement.

Blended Learning

Through our blended learning model, you will receive course materials to work through at your own pace as well as attend practical training seminars as required at our campus (31 Franklin Street, Adelaide). This form of learning allows you the benefits of also working with a Trainer/Assessor face to face.

Whichever delivery method you choose, our experienced trainers will support you every step of the way. You are able to change your mode of study under most circumstances throughout your enrollment as your needs change.To find out the best option for you to study Disability, call Enable College and speak with one of our course advisers today.
