Introduction
Advance your Auslan skills
Build on the Auslan skills your learned in the Certificate II in Auslan PSP20218 and prepare for advanced Auslan courses. With only 67% of Deaf people able to access an interpreter when they need one, Auslan skills are in demand.
Our Certificate III in Auslan PSP30218 continues the only accredited pathway to learn Auslan in Victoria. This course is a prerequisite to Auslan interpreter training, but is also appropriate for friends, colleagues and family members of Deaf and hard of hearing people who would like to increase their accessibility and communication abilities.
Learn to converse in personal and professional settings
