What sets AC Community Services students apart?

We recognise your prior learning! Our CHC52015 Diploma of Community Services RPL is for individuals who already have community services experience (approximately 5+ years). Students will have the opportunity to obtain an accredited Diploma of Community Services by participating in a 5-day intensive. This RPL mode draws upon your many years of community engagement, acknowledging the experience you already have, and then provides quality ‘gap’ training to enhance your skill set.

Career Ready

We equip you to be career ready in a range of roles. Our graduates have gone on to work in women’s shelters, refugee support services, community foodbanks, prison release programs, youth centres and programs, before and after school care programs, homeless shelters, family support services and other local community initiatives.

Student Stories

As a community pastor I was encouraged to identify what I'm doing well and to be able to share that with others.  I was also able to gain insight into new opportunities and strategies to support and bless my community.
