What is a Certificate IV?

A Certificate IV is a qualification that’s taught through Vocational Education and Training (VET). A Certificate IV is one step up from a Certificate III and the final step before entering into diploma level. Like most VET subjects, there’s a focus on practical skills, including the possibility of completing a work placement or traineeship. You can complete a Certificate IV in a variety of fields, including:

  • Community Services
  • Human Resources
  • Business Administration
  • Bookkeeping
  • Digital Media
  • Project Management
  • Work Health and Safety (WHS)
  • New Small Business
  • Youth Work
  • Health Care
  • Mental Health
  • Numeracy and Literacy

Why should I study a Certificate IV?

Online and classroom-based TAFE certificates are available and students have the option to complete them on a full-time or part-time basis.

TAFE certificate courses incorporate the principles of vocational education and training (VET) programs, as they are designed to give you the practical experience, as well as the theoretical learning you need to slip easily into your profession.

TAFE certificates and graduate certificates are available for just about any subject you can think of, including business management, healthcare, finance and aged care. Furthermore, you can take your pick of short certificate courses so you can stay up to date with current trends and developments in your field.

Certificate IV courses will help you achieve your Certificate IV qualification, as well as providing you with the opportunity to complete further study, including a diploma course, advanced diploma or university degree.

Certificate IV’s typically have lower entry requirements than a university degree or give the option of studying a Cert III first and then going on to a Cert IV or beyond, commonly known as recognition of prior learning (RPL). Equally, short courses like Certificate IV courses can mean that it’s easier 

A Certificate IV proves to employers looking for entry-level workers that you have a solid understanding of the industry and work required and qualifies you for further study.

How to study a Certificate IV

Depending on the RTO in questions, you may be able to complete a Certificate IV in a variety of ways.

Many courses offer both full time and part-time study options, so you can study a course at a pace that suits you and your skillset. There are also a plethora of online courses that ensure you can study the course you want from wherever you want.

If you live in Victoria but want to study a course that’s based in Queensland, an online course will allow you to complete that course or specific core units in order to achieve your qualification. International students should check with CRICOS before enrolling.

VET and TAFE schools also offer payment plans as well as a variety of student services for both full fee and plan paying students to ensure you get a world-class education.
