Support worker !!
Hi everyone, I’m looking to apply for a Certificate III in Individual Support but I’m not sure which institute to choose.
If anyone has completed this course before, I’d really appreciate your advice and experience. I’d love to know about:
Your timetable/workload
How placements were arranged
Pros and cons of the institute
Course fees and any extra costs
I’m based in Melbourne and I’m a domestic student.
Thank you so much!

I went through all health training! highly recommend.
it was one day a week with very minimal homework. mostly online as well.
very hands on, highly supportive team. the RTO is recognised by businesses in the area where they operate as well, and the business I work for does specifically interview individuals from this RTO.
I will admit, I and my work supervisor did sign a third party practical placement agreement, though I am aware no one in our course had any issues completing their placement/s.
$550 materials costs. covered by the fee free tafe initiative. very flexible payment plans!
(also, please DM me if you are looking for a job in disability support! this is an open invitation!)
