All our training is grounded in trauma-informed practice and you will receive expert support from experienced trainers.

We offer two options for the CHC40421 Certificate IV in Youth Work:

  • A 12-week Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway, which allows you to turn your experience into a nationally recognised qualification

Both options are self-directed and online and you can complete them from anywhere at our own pace. However, we recommend spending 10-15 hours on coursework and submitting 1-3 assessments per week.

Youth Off The Streets provides work placement opportunities for students enrolled in this course. Eighty hours of work placement are an essential course component, offering learners the chance to gain hands-on experience in real-world youth work settings.
