Diploma of Community Services - RPL

Alphacrucis College is once again offering the CHC52015 Diploma of Community Services RPL, a unique program designed to equip people to think and act differently regarding community transformation. This course is an RPL course and is for individuals who already have community services experience (approximately 5+ years). Students will have the opportunity to obtain an accredited Diploma of Community Services by participating in a 5 day intensive. This RPL mode draws upon your many years of community engagement, acknowledging the experience you already have, and then provides quality ‘gap’ training to enhance your skill set.

The Diploma of Community Services is endorsed by the ACC Community Engagement Director, Pastor Paul Bartlett, and draws upon the latest best practice in community engagement. It is specifically designed for experienced community workers and those who have experience in church based community services work.

“Completing the Diploma has enabled me to have more confidence working in this field and developing programs to be effective and of a high standard. It has also brought increased credibility when attending community gatherings and interagencies as I am now seen by others working in these fields to be qualified for the work.”
