1. Clinical Placement:

As part of the course, students are required to complete a certain number of hours of clinical placement to gain hands-on experience in working with people with disabilities. IHNA provides assistance in finding a suitable placement, which is a valuable opportunity for students to gain practical experience and apply what they have learned in the course.

2. Job Placement Guarantee:

IHNA’s Certificate IV in Disability Support course also offers a job placement guarantee for eligible students. This is a unique feature in Australia and can provide peace of mind to students who are looking to transition into the disability sector.

3. Credit Transfer:

Students who have completed a Certificate III in Individual Support course may be eligible for Credit Transfer for some units in the Certificate IV in Disability course. This can help reduce the overall cost and duration of the course for these students. Credit Transfer recognizes the equivalence of previously completed units and allows students to progress more efficiently through their studies by exempting them from repeating similar content.

4. Duration of the Course:

The duration of the course is typically 6 months, but students have the flexibility to complete it as part time mode within a maximum period of 12 months. This allows students to balance their study with other commitments, and complete the course in a timeframe that suits their individual needs.

5. Industry-Relevant Curriculum:

IHNA’s Certificate IV in Disability Support course is designed in consultation with industry experts, ensuring that the curriculum is up-to-date and relevant to the current disability sector. This helps students to develop the skills and knowledge needed to work effectively in the industry and make a meaningful difference in the lives of people with disabilities.
