CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support – Traineeship
Qualification Overview
Over the coming years, the demand for services provided by the Aged, Home and Community and Disability sectors will continue to increase at a significant rate.
This qualification reflects the role of individuals in the community, home or residential care setting who work under supervision and delegation as a part of a multi-disciplinary team, following an individualised plan to provide person-centred support to people who may require support due to ageing, disability, or some other reason.
These individuals take responsibility for their own outputs within the scope of their job role and delegation. Workers have a range of factual, technical, and procedural knowledge, as well as some theoretical knowledge of the concepts and practices required to provide person-centred support.
To achieve this qualification, the candidate must have completed at least 120 hours of work as detailed in the Assessment Requirements of the units of competency.
Upon successful completion of this course, participants will receive the CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support qualification.

| Delivery Mode |
| This training program is offered by way of Traineeship on-the-job in the workplace. Trainers provide instruction, training, mentoring, learning support and assessment services to employees (trainees). To extend learning Foresite’s Trainers and Assessors visit the workplace and provide structured training pre-arranging with employers for trainees to be available to attend each scheduled session. Face to Face workshops at our training venue can also be facilitated if preferred by employers. The Trainer and Assessor will adhere to a session outline for each session ensuring theory and all unit requirements have been met through delivery of the structured training either 1:1 or in small groups.
Practical training is undertaken in the workplace benefiting from the reality of day-to-day operations including workplace policies and procedures, resources and equipment, and experienced staff. Foresite can provide access for Trainees/employees to a simulated environment for structured training, but find many employers prefer shorter structured training sessions at the workplace removing each trainee from daily tasks to attend. |
