A graduate certificate allows you to develop high-level skills, knowledge and attitudes towards a specialty within nursing that can unlock your career. Graduate certificates show employers that you are dedicated to improving your skills and are capable of high-level work, and are often gateways for higher pay, senior roles and leadership responsibilities.
The way we nurse is constantly changing. Graduate certificates such as the Graduate Certificate in Digital Health help nurses manage transitioning to a system relying more and more on technology. ACN has Graduate Certificates to support nurses caring for consumers from neonatal all the way through to aged care.
Graduate certificates by ACN are developed by specialist nurses with clinical experience in the area of teaching and facilitate a supportive and engagement learning experience. Additionally, students are supported by specialist library staff that provides access to books, journals, database searches, loans and more to meet your studying needs.
A vast majority of ACN Graduate Certificate courses are available exclusively online and are flexible to your schedule. We understand that many nurses work different shifts depending on their speciality and our courses are designed for the busy nurse who may need to grapple shift work or study at unpredictable hours or may not be able to make it to a physical site due to other responsibilities.
A serious benefit of graduate certificates is that you can get specialist knowledge and skills in less time than a Master’s degree. Graduate Certificates at ACN can be completed part-time in just twelve months, with only 12-15 hours of study per week. And with fees being able to be covered by FEE-HELP (except Bridging and Re-Entry), the options for your future career are limitless!
