COURSE DESCRIPTION
This qualification provides students with the training to work in the community services sector and equips them with specialised skills such as program coordination, service planning, and case management.
Graduates are trained to respond appropriately to unpredictable and complex problems and find the information they need to solve them. They may be required to connect clients with advocacy and representation services, or develop and lead community engagement strategies. They can work independently with only broad oversight from senior management, and may be called upon to supervise volunteers or manage a team of other community services workers.
Solis College’s core values are respect and integrity. Our mission is to become one of Australia’s leading RTOs by providing high-quality training and exceptional service, and by placing students at the core of everything we do.
Some of the advantages of studying with Solis College are:
Friendly, approachable, and highly qualified trainers.
CRICOS accredited, with a proven track record of supporting international students to get qualified and into the workforce.
Rolling intakes, meaning you can start studying at any time.
Evening and weekend classes, providing maximum flexibility for students.
These are just some of the ways we put our students first.

This is partly through providing an excellent standard of education, but our connections within the industry are also a factor – it’s not unusual for students to be offered work at the workplace where they completed their practical placement, and many industry employers now regularly approach Solis College to enquire about potential future staff.
The diploma is a great pathway to a stable, dynamic, and satisfying career in community services.
