I enrolled in and PAID FOR duel Diplomas of Community Services and Case Management.
The classes for these were held 'after hours' one night a week.
The training staff were excellent.
I passed the Community Services Diploma with flying colours then the class group was offered the option of returning for another semester and obtaining a Diploma of Case Management. As Case Management was where I wanted to be job hunting I (and more than half the class decided to accept the offer). It was explained to us that the two study areas had many subjects in common so it was only necessary to now complete the un-duplicated subjects to receive the Diploma of Case Management. I also passed these subjects with marks of Distinction. When I arrived to collect my Diplomas I received the Diploma of Community Services, and the office staff looked at me blankly when I enquired about the Diploma of Case Management documentation. I was informed then that this Diploma was no longer being run. As the lady who had been doing the Administration for the course was now deceased I was left without a further avenue of enquiry....but out of pocket several thousand dollars. My achieved Diploma clearly shows the extra subjects taken and passed.
Due to 'who you know'....as much as now 'what i know after my new Diploma.... I was very very pleased to obtain a job in Child Protection Case Management. From this I have moved now into Team Management.
From working at a supermarket checkout, I now have a rewarding and fulfilling career.

I specifically studied for case management but when applying for a job found out that only qualified nurses or allied health professionals were hired as case managers.
I settled for a less qualified position as a case managers assistant.
Still happy for getting that position and have learned so much from my humble beginning.
Couldnt have fone it without my studies.
