Course Overview
If you enjoy helping people in need of support, then a Certificate III in Non-Emergency Patient Transport will help you achieve those goals as you provide transport and care for patients with illnesses and disabilities.
You’ll learn the safest methods of transport for patients to take them to their appointments and recreational activities by providing a necessary service to people in need; all while securing a stable, ever-changing career for yourself.
Not only that, you’ll learn to assess your patients and follow procedures to safely remove patients from their residences and place them into transport. And unlike emergency transport, there is no severe time restraints on moving these patients.
And when you finish this course, there are so many patients transport options available to you. You could even find yourself working at exciting organisations like the Royal Flying Doctors, Ambulance Victoria, local hospitals and private companies outsourcing non-emergency patient transport.
But what if you want to take your study even further and learn more specialised skills? Well, you can! You’ll be eligible to study a Diploma of Nursing, or a Diploma of Paramedical Science.
Both these courses will enhance your employment opportunities while helping you achieve your career goals, and we’ll work with you every step of the way to make that happen.
So, if you’re looking for a rewarding career where you make a huge difference in the lives of people who need that little bit of extra support, then a Certificate III in Non-Emergency Patient Transport is the perfect course for you, and TAFE Gippsland if the perfect place to make it happen.
