Study at the Hader Insitute
Looking for the ideal place to learn transcends just the course material. It's too common for education providers to solely prioritise delivering information and miss the emotional dimension of professional advancement. Managing work and personal duties can already make it difficult to search for practical and supportive avenues to develop the skills necessary to build a fulfilling career. At Hader Institute of Education, we recognise that pursuing careers in Community Services, Mental Health, Youth Work, and Alcohol and Other Drugs starts with having a learning environment where students' emotional wellbeing is supported as they work towards professional growth. One way we do this as a nationally recognised online training provider is by designing our programs to be flexible so that we can cater to students with diverse life circumstances. Regardless of whether you're changing from your current position to a role where you can make a bigger change or you're starting fresh, you can depend on us to provide a supportive and inclusive setup. So, you don't have to browse for "Youth Community Worker" and "Youth Work"; at Hader Institute of Education, we understand that the world needs learners who dream of a more connected future, and we're here to provide you with the support you need to work towards that.
Our courses are made to have the adaptability you need without sacrificing the structure that maintains your progress. Select the learning pace and style that meets your life with short courses lasting around 12 weeks, Certificate IV courses taking about 12 months, or Diploma courses extending up to 18 months. Connect with trainers and peers in real time through weekly Zoom sessions included in Diploma and Certificate IV programs, and recordings are available should you miss live attendance. And when you need more personalised guidance, one-on-one mentoring gives you the space to ask questions, review your progress with your chosen online courses, and get direct feedback. Whichever course you choose, our flexible learning experience makes sure that while there are still deadlines and a timeframe for course completion, you can still learn at your own pace.
