What is this course?
About this course
The course provides graduates with the competency and skills to become effective members of Boards and Management Committees of Indigenous community organisations. The course will also interest those who are working in or are members of a community organisation or are interested in a management career.
This training is available to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples over 18 years of age.
Tranby receives funding from the Federal Government to support Indigenous non-NSW residents and from the NSW Government to support Indigenous NSW residents. This means that you do not need to pay tuition fees. The availability of ABSTUDY support is based on individual circumstances.
Course Delivery
Tranby’s student support team is here for you on your learning journey. The team includes your trainer for academic support, dedicated IT support and Student Services for general assistance. You can also book time with one of Tranby’s Elders in Residence for cultural support and connection.
The course is divided into five consecutive study modules. Each module runs for eight weeks and is followed by a break of two weeks.
Students must submit their assessments by the due dates. The study load is typically 20 hours per week.
