CTI requires students to provide English level evidence (Upper Intermediate level / IELTS 5.5 / PTE equivalent), be 18 years and above with a High School Certificate (Year 12), be physically capable for manual handling activities, and submit a verified copy of qualifications and transcripts confirmed by CTI's approved student recruitment agent.
Graduates may pursue roles such as Support Worker, Family Supporter Worker, Disability Service Officer, Residential Support Worker, In Home Respite Worker, Personal Care Worker in the community and/or residential setting, or Supervisor/Team Leader in the community and/or residential setting.
Students successfully completing this course may enter further study at Certificate IV or Diploma level at CTI or an Australian Apprenticeship pathway. Individuals may progress to CHC43015 Certificate IV in Ageing Support, or could progress to a wide range of other qualifications in aged care or community services industry fields.
Students will need to source their own black leather enclosed shoes (nursing shoes) and black pants. CTI will provide students with a name tag, a polo shirt with logo, and a logbook. Students will also need a yellow card for their placement.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
