Graduates of the Northern Sydney Institute’s Certificate IV in Library, Information and Cultural Services (formerly Museum Practice) have a great reputation in the industry and a history of landing some impressive positions in this highly competitive job market.
From the class of 2012, successful graduates have included Grace Bushrod who now works in Customer Liaison with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Fiona Chung who is employed by Coburn Art Conservation and Deborah Woodhouse who is with The National Trust.

One of the key elements of the course which is offered at the Institute’s Meadowbank Campus is the compulsory internship. This gives students hands-on workplace experience and an opportunity to connect with the industry.
“The Internship, which is an integral part of the course, means that our students build industry networks while they are studying, leading to impressive outcomes for our graduates,” said Nick Vickers, Teacher the Northern Sydney Institute.
