Additional Information
What else might you consider during the enrolment process?
Competency-based training
Competency is the consistent application of knowledge and skill to the standard of performance required in the workplace. As this is a competency-based course, the assessments will involve the demonstration of skill, knowledge and the ability to work consistently to the standards required. The assessment tasks may include questioning, case studies, third party feedback or workplace projects.
Course Fees and Subsidies
Course Fees and subsidies available vary across courses with some of our courses subsidised by either State or Federal Governments. Please refer to Course Fees and Subsidies to learn more about the current course fees and subsidies available.
Course Requirements
All vocational courses require a number of units to be successfully completed. To learn more about specific learning requirements and the delivery of these units refer to the specific course information.
In addition to the completion of units, some of our courses require a certain number of hours of work placement, work experience or pastoral supervision. Please refer to the specific course to learn if any additional prerequisites are required.
Credit Transfers
A credit transfer provides automatic credit for units you have already completed in an accredited course with another training provider. There is no charge for credit transfers, and your course fees will be reduced if you are eligible. Please discuss this with the Course Coordinator when you enrol.
Entry Requirements
For many of our courses there are no entry requirements however it is important you refer to the specific course information for entry requirements. Also, to ensure you are enrolled in the most suitable and appropriate course of study all applicants will be required to complete a pre-enrolment evaluation, as part of the Online Enrolment Application.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
If you believe you have the skills and knowledge in some or all of the units, or you already hold a similar qualification and are looking to upgrade, then you may wish to consider Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
Recognition for modules/units may be granted based on previous learning, studies, work and/or life experiences. RPL is available to all learners and the RPL application process should start upon application, and preferably be completed before you begin your studies. RPL information and fees are available on application. Please discuss this with the Course Coordinator when you enrol.
