In a nutshell
The joy and satisfaction of supporting and caring for others means working in the disability care sector can be an incredibly rewarding career choice for many people.
If making a real difference to the quality and comfort of someone’s life sounds like the role you were made for, consider completing the dual Certificate IV in Disability (CHC43115) and Certificate IV in Leisure and Health (CHC43415) from Nepean Industry Edge Training.
This is a great opportunity to gain two qualifications that are highly regarded in the community care sector. With an emphasis on patient care and wellbeing, these two qualifications will prepare you for roles in community and home environments, as well as offer real, hands-on training with industry professionals when you embark on practical work placement.
Please note, students may choose to enrol in one course and graduate with a single qualification.
