The Undergraduate Certificate in Community Support will be offered by the University of Tasmania without tuition fees for 2024. This course has been specifically designed to provide a contemporary qualification for professionals already working in disability, mental health, aged care, youth work, and other social and community services.
The Undergraduate Certificate in Community Support comprises 4 units (subjects) which can be studied either part-time (2 units per semester) or full-time (4 units per semester). We provide both face-to-face and fully online options, allowing participants to build the contemporary knowledge, skills and practices foundational to a broad range of ‘helping professional’ roles, from anywhere in Australia.
In collaboration with our industry partners, this course has been designed to meet current and future consumer, community and workforce needs by focussing on core skills such as self-awareness, resilience, advocacy, working in enabling and empowering ways, and promoting equity, diversity and inclusion.
Students in this course will engage with real-world issues and contexts, exploring current trends, changes and challenges in the social and community services sectors. With a focus on achieving positive outcomes for individuals, families, communities and organisations, students will engage with emerging technologies, industry standards and principles of continuous quality improvement.
