Should I do the CIII and CIV individually or as a package?
Please note; there is a significant overlap of course material and understanding between the Certificate III and Certificate IV.
If a student does not have either qualification it is highly recommended to do the packaged course – and receive both qualifications at the same time.
For example, both courses require learning in Human Anatomy, the difference being the Certificate IV level student typically needing to show a greater knowledge of these principles. So it does save time the student learning Human Anatomy for both levels at the same time, rather than having to revisit so much similar content the second time around.
