Description
This qualification allows for the attainment of competencies required for work in the public sector which is autonomous and often non-routine. The qualification is targeted at those who enter the public sector with another qualification as well as those progressing within the sector.
The generalist qualification suits the requirements of working in small or regionally based organisations or where responsibilities are diverse in nature, rather than with a narrow specialisation.
The workplace inspection specialisation covers the skills required for those responsible for the conduct of statutory investigation and enforcement requirements under any of the following legislative frameworks: work health and safety, workers’ compensation, injury management or workplace relations.
The investigations specialisation covers the skills required to manage in an investigations environment within the public sector.
The fraud control specialisation covers the skills required to manage in a fraud control environment within the public sector.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.
