How Our Students Get Job-Ready in 12 Months
A lot of people think you need years of study before you can land a good job in care or community services. But that’s not true.
At Australian Nursing & Training Services (ANTS), we see students step into rewarding jobs every day — sometimes in as little as six months.
So how does it work? Here’s how our students train, practise, and get hired fast.
✅ Step 1: Practical, Accredited Courses
Unlike a long degree, many care courses are short, skills-focused and designed for real work.
Most students finish a Certificate III or IV in about 12 months, depending on how they study.
Each qualification is nationally recognised, so you can work anywhere in Australia when you finish.
✅ Step 2: Hands-On Training + Simulations
No one wants to just sit in a classroom reading about care work — you need to do it.
ANTS courses include practical training and real-world tasks, like:
- First aid units (such as HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid)
- CPR and emergency scenarios
- Safe manual handling practice
- Simulated care tasks with equipment
- How to communicate effectively
- Basic knowledge and skills needed to work as a care worker. Prepare to be a confident carer
Students tell us this is where their confidence grows — because you’re not just reading slides, you’re learning how to handle real situations.
✅ Step 3: Industry Work Placement
Placement is where it all comes together.
Most ANTS courses include placement hours with an aged care provider, disability service or community organisation.
This means you:
- Work alongside experienced staff
- Get used to the daily routines
- Meet employers while you learn
Many students get offered paid shifts before they’ve even finished — because they’re job-ready, reliable and already part of the team.
✅ Step 4: Real Career Support
Getting the certificate is one thing — landing that first job is another.
ANTS students don’t do it alone. Our trainers help you with:
- Writing or updating your resume
- Getting ready for interviews
- Practical advice about what employers really want
- Job referrals — we stay connected with industry contacts who trust our grads
