Kickstart your career in care

Are you a caring, compassionate person with an interest in aged care? Do you see yourself thriving in roles like Home Care Assistant, Residential Care Worker, or Community Support Worker, where each day brings meaningful interactions?

 

A career in care is truly rewarding as it gives you the opportunity to make a lasting positive impact. A career in aged care helps make the lives of older Australians more fulfilling, helps them stay connected, engaged and feel valued every day.

 

Imagine doing work every day that genuinely matters and makes a real difference in the lives of others. Be the support individuals need to regain or maintain their independence for as long as possible.

 

The Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing) provides the perfect opportunity to not only start your career in care but to teach you how to provide one-on-one support to older Australians.

An online course, without the expensive price tag

Not everyone has the time or money to take on a full-time classroom-based course. 


We’ve created an affordable and convenient approach to learning. Our course is one of the few that is mostly online with only face-to-face practicals. This means you can complete the course in your own time, and at your own pace.

 

This course also includes 120 hours of placement so you will learn on the job before you truly start your aged care career.

 

We're making it even easier for you to get started with your study. Government contributions and Commonwealth Concession Card Holder concessions apply. We also have a current discount from Enhance Training on this course with the cost now less than $500. 

 

Study should be accessible to everyone. Even with government contributions and discounts, it can be pricey to study, especially if you're expected to pay upfront. This is why we have developed a range of payment options that suit everyone's bank balance. 

  • Upfront payment
  • 10 month payment plan only available for full fee paying students
