You will be provided with access to a Learning Management System (LMS) as well as another resource area where you will also be able to continue to collaborate with your group and engage with the learning materials from the virtual workshops.
Depending upon your prior knowledge this may take you between 600 – 2400 hours to complete in full as recommended by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) for a Certificate IV qualification. Experienced people with good computer skills may achieve competency in a shorter period of time.
Your learning will continue after the virtual classrooms by engaging in the learning resources, independent research and study.

When is the course scheduled?
Scheduling Options
You do not have to attend the clusters immediately after each other, though this is the preferred fast track. Please consider these options and ensure that you have booked the right option for you. You can discuss this with your trainer prior to commencement of your studies.
FAST TRACK: Attend one cluster directly after each other. This option requires a considerable amount of commitment and engagement with the learning between clusters to allow the learning to embed prior to commencement of the next cluster. If you do not have the required time to commit to this option, then it is highly recommended that you go for the PACED option.
PACED: You may attend different groups across the year, with gaps between your learning if you prefer. Subject to availability on each course as each course is capped at 8 people. If this is your preference then you must book your timeslots in advance to ensure that you have a spot on each course. You may be able to alter these if there are spaces in different groups, but this cannot be guaranteed.
