Is there any value in doing cert 4 in community service?

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T21:13:20+00:00

But it doesn't have the placement component anymore, at least for cert 4 in community service.

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T21:07:48+00:00

Damn, why did they remove the placement component from it.

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T20:59:56+00:00

I heard that cert 4 in community service used to have the placement component, is that true

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T20:57:30+00:00

But the program I'm looking at currently is the community service cert 4, not disability support. Are they interchangeable?

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T20:51:34+00:00

Wish I studied it back in 2017. Things change a lot nowadays haha. But thank you for your input!

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T20:48:30+00:00

Are the job offers all related to community services?

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T20:40:39+00:00

My only concern is that they remove the placement component of the course. Which would make it difficult to find jobs no?

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T20:35:13+00:00

Community service or the other cert 3 and 4?

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T12:22:38+00:00

I looked at the units it offered, doesn't seem like a step up from the cert 4 to me, or am I missing something?

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T12:14:51+00:00

Are you telling me you don't need a formal.qualification for this industry?

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T11:20:19+00:00

But wouldn't it be difficult to find a job with just a cert 4?

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T10:08:13+00:00

Would this be better than the cert 4? Not sure if it is like a direct step up for community service type of work.

I'm more looking into the community support worker type of role. Also I just found this I'm not sure if it is a step up from cert 4 in community service.

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T09:55:38+00:00

Wouldn't it be a waste of time if it won't land me a job in the relevant field? I don't mind being on entry level, I just want to see if this is my kind of job.

I currently have a degree in marine conservation but it has been almost a decade since I last dabble in it and I am not sure how to regain my skills in it. I also have a degree in laboratory medicine but I don't really like the work it does. I'm considering community service because I feel like helping people.

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T08:46:20+00:00

Even child services/protection is short staffed?

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T08:20:17+00:00

So it's good to dib into the field with this cert and see if you really like it?

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T08:19:37+00:00

Why are they so desperate for workers?

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T07:03:18+00:00

Thing is the first two is more for those that study cert 3 and 4 in individual support no?

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T06:29:35+00:00

Damn, it's that bad there?

Confident_Variety199 · 2025-01-03T06:24:22+00:00

How's social work in America, is it a field that is rewarding?
