Invest in professional excellence with our CHMC (Caregiver and Home Management Certification) programs. We offer industry-recognized training for domestic professionals and continuing education for existing staff.
What Makes Our Training Service Different
Every placement comes backed by rigorous vetting, certified training, and ongoing COHCASEL support.
Industry-Recognised Certification
CHMC is recognised by major domestic staffing agencies, high-net-worth households, corporate employers, and the Federal Ministry of Labour.
Practical, Hands-On Curriculum
Classroom theory combined with real-world practical sessions — graduates are ready to work from day one, not just pass an exam.
Three Progression Levels
Bronze (3 months), Silver (6 months with specialisation), and Gold (12 months with internship) — a clear career pathway for domestic professionals.
Job Placement Assistance
Every CHMC graduate receives job placement support through our network of partner families and agencies. Gold and Silver graduates are prioritised.
Employer Sponsorship Programme
Employers can sponsor existing staff for CHMC training. Sponsored staff show measurably higher retention, performance, and loyalty.
Career Advancement
CHMC-certified professionals earn 30–50% more than uncertified counterparts and access a wider pool of premium household and corporate employers.
