Certificate IV Courses

Benefits of obtaining a Certificate IV

With a Certificate IV in from 3CIR, you’ll gain practical skills that you can use in your career and beyond. You’ll learn how to properly manage and contribute to your organisation’s operations while developing your foundational knowledge.

Our Certificate IV courses can be taken either through Online study or Recognition of Prior Learning. With Online study, you can learn at your own pace at your own time with flexible delivery. Whether you’re at home or out and about, provided you have access to the internet, you’ll be able to log on and begin your coursework. One of the main benefits of studying a Certificate IV course online is the ability to earn while you learn. With traditional study, you might have to travel long distances just to attend class. Often courses are scheduled during the day when you would otherwise be working. With Online study through 3CIR, you can maintain your current employment while also balancing study alongside your personal commitments. As long as you’re able to assess the content online, you’re able to make progress in your learning journey!

Our other main option for obtaining our Certificate IV course is through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). A Cert 4 RPL can help you save time and cost by using your previous professional and voluntary experience to gain a qualification. Made possible through the Australian Qualifications Framework Cert IV RPLs require a number of years in a particular industry to be awarded. If you have, for example, working in an administration position for a number of years. The skills you have learnt throughout this time are the same ones you would learn through completing a Certificate IV in Business online. Because these learning outcomes match, you can receive a Cert 4 in Business through RPL. One major factor that will help is the evidence you provide during the Certificate IV RPL process. In order for our assessors to be able to map your experience to one of our Cert IV qualifications, they need to see evidence of your experience. This evidence can take a number of different forms including a resume or CV, position descriptions, photos of you completing work, performance appraisals etc. Essentially, any documentation you can provide will help our assessors to get a Cert IV quickly. Because you don’t have to study, Recognition of Prior Learning for a Certificate IV is much quicker and cheaper than traditional study… you don’t have to relearn what you already know.

If you don’t want to study online and don’t already have Certificate 4 experience, you can still undertake a number of our courses. With our training partner, we have physical locations around Australia where you can go in and study on one of their computers. Just let us know and we can arrange for a space close to you.

Why should you pursue a career in vocational education and training?

While many businesses and people recognise the value of employee training, determining where to begin can be a challenge. The most important option is what you want to study and how you will do it.
