This online cultural competency training is unique - you won't find yourself being fed masses of information. You'll be immersed in interactive online learning, encouraged to critically reflect, shed preconceived ideas and delve into in-depth analysis of complex issues.
You'll be taught by a team of Indigenous and non-Indigenous academics with diverse teaching and research experience - they're experts in their field.
We know that when you undertake further study, it needs to fit in with your work, family and lifestyle - that's why you can study the Graduate Certificate in Indigenous Cultural Competency completely online. Lectures, discussions, resources - they're all available online, so you can study for your certification wherever and whenever you want.
The Graduate Certificate in Indigenous Cultural Competency is an ideal qualification for professionals wanting to build on their previous studies or work experience to enhance interactions with Indigenous people and communities. Whether you're in education, social work, law and justice, nursing, allied health or media - the knowledge and understanding you'll gain with this certificate means you'll be more constructive in your role. If you're looking to upskill for your current role, hoping to advance in your career or move into a position that directly engages with the Indigenous community - this course will give you the insight and abilities to make real connections.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
