CHC43115

Certificate IV in Disability

This step up from the Certificate III is a great way for care workers to enhance their understanding of the care industry and position themselves for greater responsibility in the workplace.

Covering more advanced concepts around person-centred care with a strong focus on empowerment, this qualification will build on the existing skills of care workers in the disability sector.

Students considering this course should ideally hold a current CHC33015 Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability), or at least equivalent industry experience.

AMA Training Services is a Study Loans accredited training provider, which gives eligible students the ability to spread the cost of their studies over a period of up to four years. (see more about Study Loans in the Course Fee section below).

Self-Paced Learning

Each participant will be provided with access to a number of units at a time through our online learning system. The resources are easy to follow with some graphics included to help during the Training Program. On completion of the units, assessments are then conducted. First Aid must be completed in the classroom. AMA trainers / assessors are contactable at any time by telephone or email.

  2. After three months, or if a student requests access to new units earlier, students will be invoiced for the second instalment and upon payment will gain access to their next set of units.
