The CHC33015 course is an entry level program that is required to work within facilities, community homes and hospital environments. At SERO, we offer two specialisations, depending on the type of clients you would like to care for after receiving your certificate, such as:
- Ageing

You can also complete your Certificate III in Individual Support with multiple specialisations. Completing the units from another specialisation will increase the duration and cost of the certificate, however, having more than one area of expertise diversifies your skill set and career opportunities.
