Long-time follower. First time poster.

Not advertised but Charles Darwin University is currently offering Free CERT IV in Mental Health for people from NT working in the industry. All study is conducted online. Don't know if it's only for Territorians but I just received my first 5 units free of charge. Valid until 31 Mar 17 but must finish the course by 31 Mar 18 then the fees come in for the remaining Units that need to be completed. Saving around $2500.

UPDATE 2: Email stating fees are waived. http://imgur.com/a/tCGgb

UPDATE 16 March

We have been informed that this course is only available for people that live in the NT and currently working in the industry. Please do not call if you do not fulfill these requirements.

    Looking to confirm is it only NT or not as some of the above comments are contradictory, also if its not then what to you choose for location option? & the start date option?

    • ih8un on 15/03/2017 - 18:33

      I would like to know this also. I tried calling but their closed now.

      • Moderatorneil on 16/03/2017 - 10:53

      They won't, because this one doesn't have band 28.

  • ceebs on 15/03/2017 - 20:15

    What did people put up for course location?

    Oh, I was looking at this more from the point of view "Oh something for free I can just take"…..rather than work my ass off for it…. :P

  • strangeloops66 on 15/03/2017 - 22:50

    Gives a whole new meaning to being certified…

    Just ordered 6 of these for Christmas

  • Munr00 on 15/03/2017 - 23:46

    so do you need to live in NT or what??

    • Moderatorneil on 16/03/2017 - 10:52

      NT Only.

      From the rep:

      It is only available for people that live in the NT and is available only to people that are currently working in the industry.

  • Cleremy on 16/03/2017 - 00:01

    Good to see course fees getting cheaper for a change rather than more expensive.

    I wonder how they arrange the placement for students outside NT. Be warned that a 100 hour placement is a mandatory component of this course AFAIK.

    thanks op, will pass this deal onto my ex-wife

  • noshopping on 16/03/2017 - 00:07

    Can I call myself Dr. after I graduate? Would come in handy when filling out forms or dating.. "So what do you do.. I have been certified as a Doctor"…

    • Cleremy on 16/03/2017 - 00:15

      Very likely to be a long term unemployed person who kept themselves busy for a while getting a certificate that isn't actually necessary to find work in the field (a guitar teacher got a job working with clients and AFAIK has not actually got a Cert IV in Mental Health).

    • snapper on 16/03/2017 - 02:04

      There used to be laws in Australia about falsely calling yourself a doctor… (interesting read here) but no, a Cert IV doesn't entitle you to call yourself a doctor. A doctor is the highest academic title and is also used by medical practitioners, who may or may not have earned a doctoral qualification.

    Came in with confirmation via email too.

    "Good morning and thank you for your enquiry,

    Please note that the course, Certificate IV in Mental Health (CHC43315), is only being offered to residents of the Northern Territory. The Northern Territory Government is subsidising the course for NT Residents only up until 31 March 2017, within which, the course is required to be completed by 31 March 2018.

    Kind Regards

    Team at Community Services

    Charles Darwin University "

    So for anyone in NT, definitely grab it while you can.

  • starboy17 on 20/03/2017 - 14:49

    So, do we just make up a NT Address & business???

    Sounds a bit stupid, since there is no verification!

    • D3NI3D on 20/03/2017 - 14:53

      There's a work placement involved. CDU gives you a list of approved Mental Health Providers. and pretty sure it will be all Darwin based. I thinks its 80hrs worth.
