Supercharge your support workers, cleaning crew and managers through Careerforce training, supplying the skills to achieve nationally recognised qualifications.
Careerforce has made it easier for aged care support workers, diversional therapists, cleaning staff, and managers to upskill on the job and support higher-quality outcomes for any aged care facility. Careerforce training can equip your team with the skills to achieve nationally recognised NZQA qualifications from Level 2 to Level 4. For managers, Careerforce offers the Level 5 Diploma in Business (Leadership and Management), also delivered on the job.
Level Up with 50 percent off Apprenticeship Applications
According to Careerforce's most recent employer survey, insufficient funding and resources are the most significant challenge facing employer training needs over the next year.
To help ease the burden of training costs upon the aged care sector, Careerforce is offering 50 percent off the Apprenticeship in Advanced Care and Support and the Apprenticeship in Diversional Therapy from 1 October until 30 November 2025. Enrolments are now priced at just NZD 1,000 (Incl. GST), a saving of NZD 1,000 (subject to eligibility).
Build Specialist Skills in Dementia
Careerforce's Dementia Care Limited Credit Programme (LCP) gives caregivers the essential knowledge and practical skills to support people living with dementia in residential care. With four focused unit standards, all learning and assessment takes place in the workplace, so your staff can grow their expertise while making a real difference every day. Careerforce recently launched a series of online Dementia training sessions to support its LCP learners, run by its national dementia training facilitators.
