Our CHC43115 Certificate IV in Disability is ideal for individuals who want to work in the community services industry, delivering support and care for disabled individuals.
Our Disability Course
If you’re looking to work in the community sector, disability support worker qualifications can greatly increase your chances of employment.
MCIE’s Certificate IV in Disability course can help you open up career opportunities you’ve always dreamed of – possibilities include:
- Care Coordinator
- Disability Coordinator
- Disability Support Worker
- Development Officer
- Behavioural Support Officer
- Senior Personal Care Assistant
Graduates of MCIE’s disability training courses learn crucial skills, such as how to work effectively with people with a disability, how to maintain an environment to empower people with disabilities, how to facilitate skills development, community participation, and provide behaviour support in the context of individualised plans. These skills will help graduates to not only fulfil disability support worker duties, but improve their chances of employment in disability services.
If you would like to advance to higher roles of authority, such as disability coordinator, a Certificate IV in Disability qualification allows disability workers to go about their day to day job without direct supervision, reporting to service managers.
Why We Are Different
With MCIE’s nationally accredited qualification, you can make a real difference in the lives of the disabled. All training has been developed in consultation with industry leaders in the community services industry to ensure graduates have the skills to build strong careers.
Our training is incredibly hands-on: we will help you learn how to deliver vital support and care for clients in residential group homes with a practical work placement in Victoria.
Join our successful graduates who are now employed within the Australian disabled and community services industry as project officers, residential care officers, disability coordinators, senior personal care assistants and social educators.
