About CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability Stream)
This qualification reflects the role of workers in the community and/or residential setting who follow an individualised plan to provide person-centred support to people who may require support due to ageing, disability or some other reason. Work involves using discretion and judgement in relation to individual support as well as taking responsibility for own outputs. Workers have a range of factual, technical and procedural knowledge, as well as some theoretical knowledge of the concepts and practices required to provide person-centred support.
Flexible Delivery
Traxion Training specialises in delivering qualifications through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), designed for experienced professionals who are currently employed in their respective industries. As part of the RPL process, students begin by completing a self-reflection questionnaire. This initial step helps them identify their existing skills and knowledge, determining whether they are eligible for RPL or if additional training is needed to meet the qualification requirements. Successful RPL outcomes can significantly shorten training and learning duration, ensuring a more efficient path to achieving qualifications. This tailored approach optimises time and focuses on areas that may require further development.
RPL & Credit Transfer
Recognition of prior learning is all about the skills and knowledge you’ve collected through work and life experiences and then transferring them to current training course requirements. Credit transfer also recognises previous formal learning (e.g. other VET qualifications). It uses the copy of the qualification, record of results (which includes details of the issuing RTO and the date issued), statement of attainment previously issued to the student for each unit of competency, or authenticated VET transcripts downloaded from the USI (Unique Student Identifier) platform. All courses can be completed using an assessment only pathway through RPL in Traxion if the candidate possesses sufficient skills and experience as determined by the assessor.
