Graduate Certificate in Aged Services Management

What is this course about?

CSU's Graduate Certificate in Aged Services Management is designed to meet the needs of anyone managing or coordinating aged services.

About the course

The Graduate Certificate in Aged Services Management has a strong focus on leadership of people, aged care organisations and issues associated with ageing.

The program provides students with a fundamental understanding of major aspects of the managerial role as it applies within the aged care sector.

If you do not have recent study experience, it is strongly recommended that only a single subject be taken in the first session of enrolment and that a number of study skills subjects (non award) be utilised to develop the important academic skills for success. Please consult with the Course Director in the first instance if you have any concerns about your enrolment pattern.

Academic expectations

For each 8 point subject at CSU, students should normally expect to spend between 140-160 hours engaged in the specified learning and assessment activities (such as attending lectures or residential schools, assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, assignments or examinations). The student workload for some subjects may vary from these norms as a result of approved course design.

Students will be assessed on the basis of completed assignments, examinations, workplace learning, or other methods as outlined in specific subject outlines.

Where applicable, students are responsible for travel and accommodation costs involved in workplace learning experiences, or attending residential schools (distance education students).

Expectations relating to academic, workplace learning, time and cost requirements for specific subjects are provided in the subject abstracts and in course materials.
