General: The Certificate IV in Ageing Support Melbourne programme helps students understand the role that support workers play within the ageing support industry. Often, students will learn how work is completed through specialised tasks and functions in aged services; be it within the residential, home or community based environments. Studying the Certificate IV in Ageing Support Melbourne programme, students will learn how workers 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.

You must have good word processing and email skills as well as the ability to download and upload documents and information. Please see our Online Service Standards.
Delivery and assessment: We offer students the flexibility of choosing between online learning or classroom delivery. All students will be enrolled into our Learning Management System and all assessments must be completed online. As a result, all students will require a personal computer, with access to the Internet, to successfully complete their studies. Assessment methods allow for the gathering of sufficient quality evidence about the student’s performance. Methods used include question and answer, activities, observation/demonstration, case study and projects.
Practical placement requirements: To achieve this qualification, the candidate must have completed at least 120 hours of work as detailed in the Assessment Requirements of the units of competency. Students are required to undertake supervised practical placement in relevant aged care settings. Evidence provided by the supervisor will contribute to assessment of the candidate’s ability to work at this level.

Students must have a valid National Police Check prior to attending placement.
