Cert IV in Science (Biology)

22442VIC

One of the things that we are passionate about at HSH is science! We know that the world of science can lead you in many different directions throughout your life, so we have created four variations to help you explore the area of science that you feel drawn to. 

​

Forensic Science

Marine and Animal Biology Science

Exercise Science

Psychology & Mental Health

​

These qualifications all have a foundation in anatomy & physiology, DNA, genetics, and ecology, as well as teaching you how to research and communicate at University level. You'll then be able to dive into one of the above streams to consolidate your knowledge and refine your understanding of your further educational opportunities.

Study Options & Costs

This course is available in the following options:

Cert IV Only:

  • 1 Year: Face to face 1 day/week during school term ($2400). This option is only available to school-aged students. 

 

Dual Qualification (This option is only available to school-aged students):

  • If you combine one of our Cert III qualifications with the Cert IV in Science (Biology), we will provide you with a $300 discount! ($4100). 

​

Important Note for WA school students: The Cert IV as a standalone qualification will not contribute to your WACE. We recommend combining Cert III and Cert IV so that you will gain WACE points for your Cert III completion. 

Minimum Requirements

Students can choose to do this Cert IV qualification as a standalone, however, we see the benefit in completing a Cert III prior. We have linked up the ideal qualifications to enable students to have the best chance of success

 

Cert III in Animal Studies + Cert IV in Science (Biology) Animal & Marine 

Cert III in Community Services + Cert IV in Science (Biology) Psychology & Mental Health

Cert III in Fitness + Cert IV in Science (Biology) Exercise Science

Cert III in Laboratory Skills + Cert IV in Science (Biology) Forensic Science

 

Students will be provided content, videos, podcasts, activities, excursions, incursions as well as case studies and scenarios in our online environment, followed by time in the classroom to put their knowledge and skills into practice. We are a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) classroom, so you must have access to your own laptop/tablet to access the course. You must bring this with you to class each week. 


If you are in school:

Students wishing to study with us MUST HAVE have achieved a C grade minimum in Science, Maths and English in year 10, and also have passed their NAPLAN/OLNA requirements. To start the process, you will need to get in contact with your school's VET Coordinator to request their support for you to complete this qualification. You will need to complete the Expression of Interest Form and get their signature on it and then forward it to us for approval. We run our programs on either a Thursday or Friday during school terms. If your school does not release students on these days - please get in contact to discuss your situation and hopefully we can help find a solution!
 

If you are not in school: 

You must satisfy minimum competencies that can be completed in the following ways:

  • Evidence of previous education within the last 3 years.

  • Previous certificate/qualification completion.

  • Completion of a Language, Literacy & Numeracy test.

Pathway

Upon completing this duel qualification, students are able to use their Certificate IV completion to gain entry into university. A completed Certificate IV + evidence of English competency will provide you with the equivalent of a 70 ATAR. This means that you would be able to use this as a stepping stone to any of the following (and more!):
