About Solis College

This course equips students to work in childcare or early childhood education environments such as kindergartens and childcare centres. Students learn to safely and ethically care for children of a wide range of ages and cultural backgrounds.

They support children’s play and learning while maintaining their wellbeing, safety, and healthy development. Graduates can operate as part of a team or independently, and can work within established rules and guidelines.

This course provides students with the specialised knowledge and practical skills to work in early childhood education and care at a senior level, coordinating other staff and implementing early childhood programs.

Students learn to manage relationships with family members, set learning goals, ensure workplace compliance, foster children’s learning, and monitor and support their development and wellbeing.

They use specialised knowledge and skills to overcome unexpected problems, and support other staff to do the same. Graduates may be given responsibility for other educators or volunteers.

Solis College uses a blended, hybrid format for our CHC50121 Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care course – combining both online learning and more traditional face-to-face instruction in a classroom setting. The in-class component is led by our highly qualified trainers, and allows students to work in a group context to discuss concepts and work through hypothetical scenarios.

This qualification is an extension of both the Certificate III in Commercial Cookery and the Certificate IV in Kitchen Management (which are prerequisites for this course), and equips students with the skills and knowledge to work in the hospitality industry at a senior level, overseeing catering within a large organisation or managing a moderate sized hospitality business.

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.

This qualification equips students with a sound theoretical knowledge base in marketing and communication, and the skills to ensure that marketing functions are effectively conducted in their organisation or business area. Graduates are trained to understand current market trends, perform market research, drive social media engagement, and identify and capitalise on new marketing opportunities. They might work individually, or be asked to coordinate other staff and lead teams.

The qualification applies to dedicated marketing personnel, workers whose role includes marketing activities alongside other work, and staff at dedicated marketing firms.

This qualification equips students to work in the aged care sector, providing person centred services and individual support in a residential, home, or community based aged care setting. They are also trained to complete specialised tasks, which may include individual service planning, implementing falls prevention strategies, and in some circumstances adopting a palliative approach to personal support.

Students are trained to work within defined organisation guidelines, following safe work practices for the aged care industry without the need for direct supervision. They are also equipped to lead other support workers where needed.

The Grad Dip of Management (Learning) provides students with the skills and training to not only manage and coordinate other workers, but to develop the capabilities of staff through training and personal development.

The qualification reflects the ability to apply highly specialised knowledge and skills in the field of organisational learning and capability development. People in these roles generate and evaluate complex ideas. They also initiate, design and execute major learning and development functions within an organisation – such as training programs, orientation packages, and personal development opportunities.

Typically, they would have full responsibility and accountability for the personal output and work of others. This qualification may apply to leaders and managers in an organisation where learning is used to build organisational capability – such as a registered training organisation.

This qualification provides students with a wide range of cookery skills and a sound knowledge of kitchen operations, allowing them to prepare food and menu items as a professional cook. Graduates can work as part of a team or independently, applying discretion and judgement and using existing kitchen plans, policies and procedures to guide their work.

This qualification equips students to apply knowledge, practical skills and experience in management and leadership across a range of business and industry contexts. Students are trained to use initiative and judgement in planning and coordinating both their own workload, and that of other staff.

They communicate clearly to support individuals and teams to meet business goals. They’re able to plan and evaluate solutions to unpredictable problems and gather needed information from a range of sources.

This qualification equips students with the technical skills and underlying knowledge to manage, operate and maintain IT resources for organisations and businesses of both large and small. Students are trained to understand the fundamentals of computer science and the mechanics of software engineering, operating systems, internet and cloud technologies, and data management.

Solis College’s Diploma of IT also includes electives allowing students to specialise in Advanced Networking and Cybersecurity, opening up many highly specialised career avenues.

The Cert III in Individual Support is a qualification to train people to work in community and residential settings and provide person centred support to people who may require additional care due to ageing, living with disability, or some other reason. The training prepares workers to follow an individualised support plan for the client, often as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

Taught by our expert team of highly qualified trainers, the course is suitable for a range of different career pathways providing care services to the elderly, or people living with disability.

Provide First Aid is the national standard for professional first aid training in the workplace. It’s a comprehensive first aid course that trains students to recognise medical emergencies and provide appropriate first aid until emergency services arrive on-site to take over. It also equips students with the first aid skills to respond to a wide range of non-critical injuries, such as burns, fractures, minor wounds, and spider bites.

The HLTAID009 CPR first aid course provides students with the practical skills and essential knowledge required to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to a casualty in a genuine medical emergency. Students are trained to apply the DRSABCD procedure to assess the scene of a potential medical emergency and provide an emergency first aid response – contacting emergency services, performing CPR, and attaching and operating an automated external defibrillator (AED) if needed.

They know how to follow established first aid procedures to minimise risks to themselves and others, and how to hand over to emergency services and provide a verbal assessment of the situation.

Students are given the chance to observe and attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation during the course, with the chance to practise on both an adult resuscitation manikin AND an infant resuscitation manikin. They will also gain practical experience using an AED.

The HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an education and care setting qualification provides students with the approved first aid training needed to work as a teacher, educator, or childcare worker, and render medical assistance in a medical emergency. The course provides students with the skills and knowledge required to provide an emergency first aid response to infants and children, and treat a wide variety of illnesses and injuries.

Graduates know how to provide minors with medical care appropriately and follow established first aid principles as laid out by the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and other Australian peak clinical bodies.

The course includes all the content of a standard first aid training certificate, with additional learning to cover the specialised training requirements of those working in educational and care settings, including extra asthma and anaphylaxis training, and instruction on how to recognise signs of injury and illness in children or infants.

Building on the skills of the Certificate III in Commercial Cookery, the Certificate IV in Kitchen Management provides cooks and chefs with the additional skills and knowledge they’ll need to take on a supervisory role in the kitchen – such as head chef or catering manager, or managing staff for a small food business.

In addition to the core skills of cooking (such as how to serve food and follow hygienic practices), students of the course also learn higher-level skills of commercial kitchen management, preparing them to take on a team-leading role. Graduates learn to manage safety risks and solve non-routine problems with little disruption to the operation of the business.

The certificate 4 in disability support is a qualification that trains and equips students not only to provide individual support to people living with disability, but to empower them with more independence and self-reliance, encourage community participation and improve their overall well-being. Students are trained to utilise a person-centred approach working with and often contributing to the person’s individualised plan.

This may involve connecting clients with community services or service programs, sourcing advocacy and representation services, providing advice on government funding options, or helping them work towards future employment.
