Certificate IV in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Governance

What is this course?

This qualification is designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples working as board members, contact officers and senior staff within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations.

In these roles, individuals bring a wide range of knowledge, skills and experience to the workplace with an acute awareness that they operate in two cultures. They have cultural obligations to their community, as well as legal and financial obligations to the wider community and funding bodies.

Who is this course suited to?

The course is suitable for those who want to develop skills and knowledge necessary to work effectively in a governance role, either within or with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations.

As a nationally recognised Certificate IV, the course can also be used as a platform for undertaking further study.

This course is available to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples over 18 years of age.

Tranby receives funding from the Federal Government to support Indigenous non-NSW residents and from the NSW Government to support Indigenous NSW residents. This means that you do not need to pay tuition fees. The availability of ABSTUDY support is based on individual circumstances.
