Hi there I already have my qualification in Cert IV in Leisure and Lifestyle in 2009 and now I'm thinking of doing the Diploma in Leisure and Health. Can someone please tell me what this higher qualification offers in the way of employment? Is it worth doing or would the Degree in Diversional Therapy be better?
Hi Donna 27th Feb 2015 I have done both, Associate Degree in Diversional Therapy with ACU by corresondence, took me 4 years and 1 year for Cert IV within the 4 years it was a bit hard for that year but worth it ,all good have graduated with my family attending great accomplishment at 54 years. Just do it. Rose
Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.
