Launch your career as a school based Assistant Educator
Do you have a passion for education? With a Certificate IV in School Based Education Support, you will be qualified for a variety of positions where you can provide one-on-one classroom-based tutoring to students in need of additional support. This qualification will allow you to take on a more instructional role to facilitate student learning under the supervision of a teacher or other education professional.
Regarded as a fairly adaptable role, education support workers generally enjoy a flexible work schedule that you can tailor around your family and other commitments.
The CHC40221 Certificate IV in School Based Education Support will give you the expertise required to supervise students within a school based setting, apply a range of principles and processes to facilitate student learning and comply with legislative, policy and industrial requirements in an education environment.

If you are a patient, friendly and reliable person who can offer students and their families sensitivity and support, you will thrive in an education support role.
To complete this course, you will need to complete the online theory along with 100 hours of classroom-based work in at least one Australian school.
