Course Endorsement

Endorsed Courses

The Career Industry Council of Australia (CICA) has thoroughly reviewed the program proposals submitted by various universities and training providers, as detailed below.

In endorsing these programs, CICA has requested that each university and training provider collaborate with the CICA Endorsement Committee to enhance and integrate the core competency framework of the Professional Standards for Australian Career Development Practitioners into their programs.

CICA commends the universities and training providers for their contribution to improving the quality of career services in Australia by conducting programs that meet the Professional Standards for Australian Career Development Practitioners.

Program endorsement is for three years for the Graduate Certificate or higher and two years for the Certificate IV in Career Development.

Professional Career Development Practitioners may possess qualifications at the postgraduate level from universities that previously offered endorsed programs that are no longer available. Additionally, they may have completed their qualifications prior to the establishment of the Professional Standards for Australian Career Development Practitioners and the CICA Program Endorsement.

CICA recommends that schools seeking to train staff for career development roles should enroll them in a Graduate Certificate in Career Development or higher to ensure they are recognised as professionals.
