This course is run as a blend of online/self-paced learning and face-to-face training.

Online training + 1 day of practical training in the classroom. We recommend 12-25 hours of study per week (depending on your individual skills and previous experience) to be on track for completion within 12 months. Students have 12 months from date of enrolment to complete the course.

You will have access to all your learning resources and assessments via your online portal and can start your online training as soon as you complete payment for the course. Students have the opportunity to accelerate their learning by dedicating more than the recommended hours of study per week to this course to finish sooner than the 12 month timeframe.

Online/self-paced training involves reading through the student manual and other study materials and completing theory and case scenarios assessments. Some assessments in this course will require students to interact with other participants as part of the assessment (e.g. conducting interviews). These assessments are to be filmed and submitted for marking by the assessor.

Support for this online training is done via email with an assessor.

All online assessments must be completed prior to the face-to-face training.
