Training Plan
Structure
All qualifications units follow a similar Training Format, however the time required to completing the training and assessments for each unit can vary greatly depending on your prior experiences, and the format of your course.
As most students into these qualifications are already working within the industry, we offer a range of classes for RPL and Assessment-only pathways. If you are experienced in the Industry already, you should review the specific RPL and Assessment-only options for your chosen qualification carefully before you consider enrolling in the full course (Training and Assessment) option. For more information on the RPL process please click here
Specific details for each qualification are listed on each qualifications information pages and you should consult these pages carefully before you enrol in any course.
