Level 3

Ideal for

  • Support workers
Relevant for the following sectors
  • Aged Care
  • Disability Support
  • Healthcare Services
  • Home & Community Support
  • Mental Health & Addiction Support

For me, the New Zealand Certificate in
Health & Wellbeing (Support Work) at
Level 3 was a great introduction to what a
support worker does. It provided a great
framework, but also the flexibility to do your
job in a creative way. You’re able to branch
out and really explore how you can support
people and their families a lot better.
