No. Although a portion of the course can be completed online, Aged Care requires skill sets achieved through practical training. Therefore, there’s no online or distance learning available for Aged Care courses.
Necessary skills include practical training in infection prevention and control policies and assisting clients with medication.
Yes. On an emotional level, Aged Care involves caring for patients with unique and challenging needs. However, for compassionate individuals, the career outcomes can be profoundly rewarding.
Aged Care workers face challenging situations, providing direct client care to people facing life’s most confronting challenges. Each specialty, including palliative care, may expose workers to death and require identifying and reporting abuse.
Finding work, placement, or volunteer opportunities in Aged Care depends on your career goals. Online searches can help locate Aged Care facilities, often in high demand for volunteers, providing a convenient entry into community services.
Your practical placement facility may offer continued volunteer opportunities or even future employment. If finding work or a suitable work placement location is challenging, your trainer can provide guidance.
For those wanting to expand their career, complementary qualifications include Disability Care, Manual Handling, First Aid (especially CPR), and a Blue Card for working with children. While not offered through Skills Training College, a Certificate IV is the logical next step for advanced healthcare studies.
