FAQs

How many placement hours do I have to complete?

You have to complete a mandatory 120 hours of work placement

What are the requirements for placement?

Placement is an exciting opportunity for students to apply their practical and theoretical knowledge learnt in class in a real work environment. It’s important for students to be fully prepared and respect the placement provider’s policies and the needs of residents. Prior to commencing your placement, you would be required to demonstrate competency in units that cover WHS, manual handling, communication, working in diverse environment etc. and mandatory police check.

How much support will I get from trainers to complete the course?

Trainers will provide support from the beginning to the end of the course, encouraging you to submit your assessments within a reasonable time of 1-2 weeks. Each task will be marked as Satisfactory or Not Satisfactory and you’ll be given up to three attempts per assessment task.

Where a task is marked as Not Satisfactory, you will be provided with detailed written or verbal feedback and be given the opportunity to resubmit/re-attempt the task. Where you have exhausted your attempts at re-assessment, you will be required to re-enrol in the unit or module, participate in further training and undertake the whole assessment again. Our dedicated student support team will also contact you regularly to follow up with your progress and attendance.

If I exit the course without finishing it what will I receive?

If you decide to withdraw from your course without finishing the entire course, you may still be entitled to receive a Statement of Attainment for units you are competent in. However, many units within a healthcare course require you to complete the placement hours to meet competency. Refer to www.training.gov.au for unit-level requirements for this course.

Can I engage in fully online studies?

This course is not designed for 100% online studies. You will be delivered training in a simulated classroom environment and be required to be fully engaged in the course requirements. Sometimes you will be expected to work in groups as group work is an important part of this course so that you can practise working with others and communicating and group work is sometimes necessary for assessment; however, assessment will always be conducted individually to ensure fairness for all students.

What are the prerequisites for this course?

There are no prerequisites.

Are there any specific industry /enterprise or licensing requirements for this qualification?

There are none at this stage.
