FAQs

How many placement hours do I have to complete?

You have to complete 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 the real work environment. But 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.

Can I engage in fully online studies?
