Become a fully qualified career practitioner

Study at Wodonga TAFE and gain two qualifications in the same time it takes to get just one! You can obtain the Certificate IV in Career Development and the Certificate IV in Employment Services in less than a year. 

From 2012, the Career Industry Council of Australia (CICA) expects all career development advisors to be accredited. By completing these courses you will not only meet their requirements but exceed them, with a dual qualification!

These courses are designed for both experienced practitioners whose existing skills need to be accredited as well as starters in the industry who need to acquire new skills.
