Welcome

The Career Education Association of Victoria Incorporated (CEAV) was formed in 1975 to provide services and support to industry and schools. CEAV is a not for profit, peak association, providing professional development and support to its members and quality career development services to the community. CEAV is also a founding member of the Career Industry Council of Australia (CICA). CICA is the national peak industry body for the career industry. CICA provides endorsement of training courses and has provided CEAV Institute with endorsement for its Graduate Certificate program.

In 2013, CEAV redeveloped its profile to be more reflective of its purpose and its increased capacity to provide a more holistic approach to career education services for its members and the broader community. In 2014, the association commenced trading as the Australian Centre for Career Education (ACCE). The ACCE achieved the status of a registered educational charity in 2015, supporting clients and those most disadvantaged within the broader community to access career education, quality career development services and products.

The ACCE also supports its members and non-members to promote career development as a lifelong process. This is achieved through the development and delivery of ethical and professional career education programs and products. This occurs via workshops and seminars, conferences, special projects, email information distribution, telephone advice, a quarterly online supplement, professional journal, in-house publications, resources via our online SHOP and specialist delivery of accredited training and professional development through its training division, CEAV Institute.

The membership base now represents a wide range of educational and industry groups and provides service to its members through three distinct divisions, CEAV; CEAV Institute; and CEAV Careers Counselling Australia.

The CEAV is the membership division, supporting members in their delivery of career development activities and programs.

CEAV Institute is our Registered Training Organisation (RTO 22523), which delivers accredited training in career development qualifications and professional development programs to members and the wider community.

CEAV Careers Counselling Australia provides career counselling services to the community and has a focus on those most in need of professional careers guidance services.

This guide has been prepared to outline the accredited training courses and professional development available through CEAV Institute. Information on fees is available online at www.ceavinstitute.edu.au

Course & Professional Development Guide

CEAV InstituteThe CEAV established CEAV Institute in response to the demand for formal qualifications in the career industry, driven by the CICA Professional Standards for Australian Career Development Practitioners. CEAV Institute has a rich history of providing professional learning for career practitioners and uses highly qualified and experienced career development professionals to deliver both accredited training and professional development.

CEAV Institute only offers courses and professional development related to the career industry. Our aim is the build the capacity of career practitioners to deliver quality, current career development services.

To comply with these national standards, CEAV Institute offers two nationally accredited qualifications, providing ‘Professional’ or ‘Associate’ level qualifications:

• CHC81315 Graduate Certificate in Career Development Practice (CICA Endorsed)

• CHC41215 Certificate IV in Career Development (CICA Endorsed)

CEAV Institute acknowledges that individuals learn differently and each person has their own learning style and preferences. Responsive to the needs of adult learners, our trainers provide a collaborative, flexible and supportive approach to training. Our experienced trainers are very accessible, approachable and skilled in the implementation of a range of learning strategies to build the capacity of all learners in our courses.

CEAV Institute offers both courses either through Mixed Mode Delivery or an Online Delivery Mode to accommodate learner preferences.

The Online Delivery Mode means that learners can access and complete our courses solely online, using a range of technologies via our Learning Management System. Webinars, videos, discussion forums and workshops are accessed via a virtual learning environment.

Professional Development CEAV Institute provides a wide variety of professional development opportunities. All of the listed workshops are mapped against the CICA professional competency standards, thus assisting career practitioners to meet their annual obligations for Continued Professional Development.

Additionally, each of these professional development workshops provides an alternative form of assessment for some of the competencies in our courses. This means that current or prospective CEAV Institute students, who attend any of these professional development workshops, will receive credit for some assessment tasks.
