Ready to Book this course?

This course is available in two delivery modes.

  • Self-paced online learning with a four (4) hour face-to-face training and assessment day. The length of the practical session will depend on the number of participants in a class.

    Students are enrolled into an online platform of learning activities (Training Desk) where they will complete a theory assessment prior to the face-to-face practical assessment.

    Trainer will revise the online component and deliver the practical assessment in a simulated work or school environment.

    This mode is our most popular mode where we generally give participants 3 - 4 weeks to complete the online work at their own pace.

  • Face to face training and assessment which aims to build on prior knowledge of the participant.

    Students must provide evidence of prior training issued that is still within thirty (30) days of expiry.

    This mode is more suited to those who need to keep their certificate current to maintain employment.
