Certificate III in Government (School Support Services)

This specialist qualification covers the competencies required by those providing school support services in government schools in a range of functions such as finance (Group D), administration (Group C), technology (Group E), scientific assistance (Group H), library assistance (Group G), disability support (Group F), hospitality (Group I), janitorial and grounds services Group J). It is not targeted at teacher aide occupations. Electives may be taken from a single stream, such as finance or disability support, or from a range of streams to suit the particular workplace. If, however, all electives are chosen from Group B, the resulting qualification is a generalist Certificate III in Government, rather than this specialist qualification. Electives should reflect the responsibilities of the individual and the job skills required for effective performance. Where a free choice of electives is possible in the qualification packaging rules, electives may also be drawn from other Training Packages to reflect the work context and career plans of the individual.
