How will Whole Person Learning help me?

Our Whole Person Learning Model understands that you are unique and human and not a 'widget' in some training, factory-like, production line.

Few of us learn everything when it's delivered on a monotonous, boring, lecture-like standard way.

We understand that learning is more effective, interesting and fun if it draws on a variety of different modes; Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, and Kinesthetic.

This is why in every session, you'll get to talk, listen, role-play, watch, ask questions, solve and read. This means that you'll learn in ways that best suit you because the material is engaging and accessible.

What career pathways does this course open up for me?

Successfully completing this nationally accredited course provides you with the qualification to increase the complexity of supports and roles within the disability sector.

You'll be making a real difference to peoples lives through supporting those living with disability or with complex needs to achieve their goals, develop their capabilities and build independence, and fully participate in the community.

These roles include but not limited to working as a: Support Worker, Disability Support Worker, Personal Care Worker, Planned Activity Assistant, or School Support Officer.
