Individual Support
Be the difference in a rewarding career.
North Coast Community College is excited to be able to offer you a unique and hands on, practical learning experience. During your course you will take part in onsite learning at Whiddon Maclean and at our Yamba campus where you will have direct access to community workers, workplace assessments and learn valuable knowledge from our experienced industry trainer.
About Certificate III in Individual Support
This qualification reflects the role of workers in the community and/or residential setting who follow an individualised plan to provide person-centred support to people who may require support due to ageing, disability or some other reason.
Work involves using discretion and judgement in relation to individual support as well as taking responsibility for one’s own outputs. Workers have a range of factual, technical and procedural knowledge, as well as some theoretical knowledge of the concepts and practices required to provide person-centred support.
