Core Units

Training courses for personal care in Adelaide are built around core units where you will learn how to best provide individualised support to promote independence and well-being. Norgrove Training CHC33015 Certificate III in Individual Support includes training on working legally and ethically, recognising healthy body systems and following safe work practices in direct client care. Core units also cover communication when working in health and community services and working with diverse people.

Elective Units

After the core units in care worker courses, you will continue your essential education with elective units, such as meeting personal support needs and providing support to people living with dementia. Similar electives teach you how to work with people experiencing mental health issues and facilitate the empowerment of older people. Elective units also go through a palliative approach to care services, plus basic infection prevention and control practices.

Work Placement

Once you finish your core and elective personal care training units at Norgrove Training, we will arrange four weeks of work placement with one of our partner organisations. We will match you with a quality care provider in Adelaide so you can apply what you learned and get hands-on experience to ensure you are ready for a successful career as a care worker. Upon completion of your study and work placement, you will obtain a nationally recognised qualification to gain employment in aged care or disability support.
