About the Certificate IV of MH Peer Work

I was looking at this certificate that’s available at my uni. They only do august intakes and seems like this certificate utilises the ‘teaching periods’ system like 3 trimesters or something instead of the 2 semesters a year. The course goes for 1 year in part time but I wonder if it’s possible for me to undertake both this course and a bachelors degree at the same time? Like e.g. if I was to undertake perhaps 1 unit from this cert 4 per trimester/teaching period and 2 units from a bachelor degree per trimester…

theres 15 units in total, plus 80 hours of work placement…

@RiverSeal @tyme @Ru-bee @MJG017 and anyone else doing the course and knows, any of you guys know anything about this and/or willing to give me answers? 🤔

FYI, the bachelor degree I’m about to be doing uses the trimester period since it’s all online. And it’s the field that’s related to mental health (psychological sciences)

Hi @Blackcloud

I did the peer program guide back in 2024 but i dont think its run anymore as it was in partnership with another organisation and funded.

80 hours really isnt that much considering you would do 8 hours normally in a day. Most cert 4 run more hours for placement, but some dont run any placement till you are doing higher qualifications like Diploma level.
