Choosing an appropriate course of study

The student services team will provide you with appropriate information, consider your previous experience and background, and provide you with relevant options to study at the Amana Living Training Institute (ALTI).


Duration varies

The duration of course varies based on AQF guidelines outlined in the Health and Community Services Training Packages. Typically, a student who studies a certificate 3 course, with us may be able to complete their course within 6-9 months. This flexible arrangement provides the opportunity for the student to study and work at the same time.


Relevant Work experience

Most of the qualifications under Health and Community Services Packages have a mandatory work placement as part of the qualification. This work placement duration can vary from 100 to 120 hours.

Some students may already hold employment in a care related role and may wish to use some of their recent work to count as part of their placement hours. Please speak to our Student Service Team to assess your situation.
