Certificate IV in Ageing Support
The nationally recognised qualification for senior aged care workers who lead shifts, coordinate care and guide a team. Already doing the job? Get it through Recognition of Prior Learning: your experience is assessed against the units, with no study required.
A qualification for the shifts you already lead
This is the qualification for experienced aged care workers: the people who run a shift, help plan and review care, support residents and clients with complex needs and show newer staff the ropes, in residential care or in people’s homes. If you’ve been doing that work, Recognition of Prior Learning lets an assessor from our partner RTO check your experience against each unit, with no classes to attend. Your free consult comes first, so you know whether you’re eligible before you pay anything.

Common questions
How much experience do I need for RPL?
It depends on the work you’ve done and how closely it matches the units. Leading shifts, helping plan and review care, and supporting residents or clients with complex needs all count, in residential aged care or home care. Your free eligibility check tells you where you stand before you pay anything.
How long does the RPL assessment take?
The whole process takes about 2–3 weeks, from your eligibility check to the assessor’s decision. Once your eligibility is confirmed you enrol and pay in person, and having your evidence ready early keeps it moving.
What counts as evidence?
Usually your resume, a reference letter from a supervisor or employer, proof of identity and your USI. Examples of the work help too, like rosters you’ve run or care plans you’ve contributed to, with residents’ details removed. Your advisor will tell you exactly what your assessor needs.
