Choosing a future career is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make, but equally important is choosing the right training provider—one who will provide you with a quality education and support you to achieve your goals.

At Community College Northern Inland (CCNI), we offer industry-leading training programs that prepare students for success in a care support role. We believe that education is not just about earning a qualification—it's about gaining the skills, knowledge, confidence and connections needed to launch a successful career. Our programs are developed in collaboration with industry leaders, ensuring that what students learn is what employers want. Our graduates are recognised in industry as highly skilled, job-ready professionals who demonstrate compassion, resilience, and an ability to provide high-quality care.

Real outcomes, real feedback
We follow student outcomes on completion of training and the numbers speak for themselves—in 2024, 86% of CCNI students completing a qualification from the Community Services training package were employed within weeks of graduating! We don't stop there, we listen to what our students tell us—in the latest (2023) NCVER Student Outcomes Survey*, 93% of students who completed their qualification at CCNI in 2022 told us they were highly satisfied with the quality of their training!

Quality training in a supportive learning environment
Our trainers are experts in their fields, bringing both industry knowledge and a genuine passion for teaching. Students learn not only the technical skills required for a support worker role but are mentored by staff to develop the personal qualities that make a great caregiver—empathy, patience, and communication.

Real-world experience
At CCNI, learning doesn’t stop in the classroom. We provide opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience through work placements, that allow students to build their resumes, develop professional relationships, and apply their knowledge in real-world settings. Students gain access to a network of employers and industry connections while studying, that can help them take the next step in their career.

Graduate success stories
Our graduates are living proof that enrolling in a qualification at CCNI is a pathway to success.

Consider Jack, just one of the many success stories that come from our campuses each year. Jack had no interest in education and was challenged going back into a learning environment but he was able to overcome the challenges with support from his trainer, to graduate with a Certificate IV in Disability Support. Today, Jack works as a support worker at a leading local disability support organisation.

In a field where empathy and understanding are paramount, Jack understands the value of continuing education to help him build strong interpersonal relationships and communicate effectively with the people he supports.

“I want to continue my education to further develop my knowledge and skills. I’m interested in how a person’s disability affects their day-to-day living experiences, understanding what makes everyone different and how to deliver the best person-centred support. I think it’s important to consider if the roles were reversed, how would I like to be supported? Would I choose me to be the support worker?“

Whether you’re looking to work in aged care, disability support, or community services, enrolling at CCNI could be the best decision you’ll ever make. When you choose to study at CCNI, you won’t just enrol in a qualification—you’ll join a community that's dedicated to continuous learning, growth, and professional development. The relationships you build here will last a lifetime, supporting you both personally and professionally. So what are you waiting for? Find your qualification and apply today!
