Whether you’re looking to work in public, independent or specialist schools, a Certificate III in Education Support will give you the skills and knowledge to support students and staff in pursuing their dreams, while also achieving your own.
The possibilities really are endless: from working as an integration aide, an office administrator or even a teacher’s aide, you’ll learn everything you need in this nationally accredited qualification.
The course structure is also designed to fit into your life as easily as possible. Attending all your classes on the same day each fortnight, you’ll have the flexibility to study when and where you can outside of designated class times.
At the end of course, you’ll be qualified to work in the industry, gaining hands-on experience and achieving your career goals, while you take the time to think about your next career move.
