CHC81315 Graduate Certificate in Career Development Practice

COURSE OVERVIEW

Due to a national review of Career Development qualifications currently being undertaken by HumanAbility, we are currently awaiting confirmation as to whether our February cohort will be delivered using the current qualification or the newly endorsed qualification. This national review is occurring across the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector to ensure qualifications continue to meet the evolving needs of the industry and profession.

If you are considering enrolling in one of our 2027 intakes, we encourage you to contact us now so we can keep you informed as soon as the outcomes are confirmed. We expect to receive further clarity in September or October, at which point we will be able to offer the most up-to-date advice to help you plan your studies with confidence

In the meantime, if you are interested in other professional development opportunities or would like information about upcoming scholarship intakes, please don't hesitate to reach out. We would be pleased to discuss your options and help you find the pathway that best suits your goals.

This course prepares students for the role of a Professional Career Development Practitioner for work in a range of settings. Graduates of this qualification can apply for registration to practice at the ‘professional’ level with any of the 10 Career Industry Council of Australia Member Associations.

Professional career development practitioners provide services that help people manage their careers, make occupational and study decisions, plan career transitions and find career information.

The Graduate Certificate in Career Development Practice is an AQF Level 8 qualification. Practitioners at this level have advanced knowledge and skills to make high level, independent, complex judgements in the context of providing guidance in career development.

Students will gain the skills and knowledge to apply specific communication techniques to establish, build and maintain relationships with clients, colleagues and other stakeholders based on respect and trust

This course features an appropriate balance between theory, models, frameworks and their practical application. The assessment methods reflect this balance, providing students with current and in-depth understandings to support their work with a range of clients. Students are equipped with the skills to research the context of career development services, apply new understandings of quality practice, develop advanced micro skills in career counselling and incorporate ethical practice into their work.

The added value of choosing this course with the CEAV Institute is its design by professional career practitioners with recent experience in cross-sectoral career development services: government and non-government schools, tertiary education, alternative education, counselling, job placement and employment, career coaching and mentoring, workforce re-entry programs and others. All trainers and assessors with the CEAV Institute also practice with ACCE Career Counselling, who provide career education and careers counselling services to the community.
