Check the register’s history for each code if you need the exact supersession and equivalence details, for example when an employer asks about an older certificate.

What is CHC43015 Certificate IV in Ageing Support?

The national qualification has 18 units: 15 core units and 3 electives. The national listing states that the qualification has no entry requirements.
