WALGA’s Nationally Recognised Certificate III in Local Government (LGA30120) can be completed by any individual who is new to Local Government and is specifically curated to reflect the real-life situations and scenarios a Local Government Officer may experience throughout their career.
Officers will develop the skills and knowledge to perform a variety of administration duties, utilise effective communication techniques and gain a deeper understanding of the legislative requirements necessary to better serve their organisation and the wider community.
The WALGA Training team are committed to supporting and caring for trainees by engaging with their supervisors throughout the Certificate III in Local Government program.
