DELIVERY METHODS

The theory phase of this course is offered as classes at JTI. It includes face-to-face instruction by experienced trainers and practical sessions involving small group and individual activities. The next phase of the course is a supervised job placement working with disabled individuals and the elderly, either in a facility, in their homes or in the community. JTI allows flexibility in the supervised job placement phase, but there are some stipulations. The student can decide on the location of placement as long as high-care needs are incorporated and as long as they undertake some morning shifts. Morning shifts are important because practicals for manual handling are taught in the morning. Each student will be assigned a supervisor in the facility or community who makes sure that all required hours have been completed.

The Certificate III in Home and Community Care course may be undertaken as a traineeship programme by new or existing workers employed a minimum of 15 hours per week. Like the regular programme, JTI is also flexible with the traineeship programme. The duration of the programme depends on the needs of the trainee completing the ‘on the job’ and ‘off the job’ requirements in 6 months (minimum duration) or 2 years for full-time workers.

This course is also offered online. All of the necessary resources and assessments for in-class training are available online, allowing those who cannot attend face-to-face training a way to learn online.
