Accredited online and on-campus courses from leading Australian universities, TAFEs and colleges
In a nutshell
Working with seniors to improve and support their wellbeing, mobility and independence is your chance to make a real difference in someone’s life.
The Certificate IV in Ageing Support (CHC43015) and Certificate IV in Leisure and Health (CHC43415) from Nepean Industry Edge Training is a dual qualification that sets you up with two highly regarded qualifications in the aged care industry.
Physical activity is vital for quality of life and wellbeing for seniors. In the Certificate IV in Leisure and Health (CHC43415) you’ll learn the interpersonal and planning skills needed to design programs, run activities and use lifestyle and leisure opportunities for seniors.
The Certificate IV in Ageing Support (CHC43015) covers topics including coordination of aged care services to legal and ethical compliance to equip you with the skills for caregiver roles in both community and home environments.
Both courses include hands-on experience with up to 240 hours of practical placement, so you’ll graduate with the knowledge and skills of what it will take to have a rewarding career in the booming sector of aged care.
Please note, students may choose to enrol in one course and graduate with a single qualification.
