National Certificate in Community Support Services

(Disability Information Provision) Level 4

 

2^nd Pilot Trainees

 

The Federation is pleased to announce that the second pilot of the above certificate has now been finalised between Careerforce and the Federation. Also that Te Pou has agreed a funding arrangement with the Federation for prospective trainees.

 

For this second pilot there will be a three month registration period and Careerforce advice that the completion time frame for this qualification is now set at sixteen (16) months and the Federation will again be running a series of Trainee Support sessions, the venues to be decided according to trainee’s geographical location.

 

The costs per trainee will be as follows:

 

The qualification fee (as set by Careerforce) is now set at $2030 per trainee

The Federation will fund $730 per trainee

Te Pou will fund $800 per trainee

This leaves a shortfall of $500 - to be met either by the trainee or their employer (who might wish to contract the trainee to refund the cost in the event of non-completion)

 

 

It is planned that all those interested will complete a Pre-assessment tool developed by the Federation before enrolling into the Community Support Services (Disability Information Provision) Level 4.

Credit can be obtained from Careerforce for those who may already hold units that are part of our qualification.

 

 

The Federation wishes to gain an indication as to numbers of potential trainees and would ask that all those interested please contact the Federation’s Training Co-ordinator before the end of February 2012
