Course Summary

To obtain this qualification, you are required to successfully complete 12 Units of competency, ie 12 subjects in total.

From the Student Portal, you will gain access to our interactive eLearning activities and readings. Written and practical assessments are carried out at the end of each Unit and sent to us through the Student Portal to show you have gained the required skills and knowledge.  We mark each assessment and once you are deemed “competent” you move to the next one, until you have completed the course. Where you receive a “not yet competent” outcome, we let you know the changes needed to get a “competent” outcome.
