Before enrolling, your proficiency in language, literacy and numeracy will be assessed to determine what level of support you may need to assist you through your study program.

Students require access to a computer with an internet connection.

Please note: The learner must complete at least 120 hours of work or vocational placement to be assessed within this qualification.

Prior to commencing vocational placement in an Aged Care facility, students will be required to complete a National Criminal History check. Students wanting to do vocational placement in a Disability or Home and Community Care venue will also be required to complete both a Disability Worker Screening and a Working with Children (Blue Card) check. Any reportable outcomes will be reviewed by the Placement Provider to decide if the student is suitable for placement.

Both formal and informal skills, knowledge and experience may be recognised as prior learning and could help you avoid training in areas you are already competent.

The RPL pathway is available to any learner who can provide evidence of competency for the units offered within the qualification. See the RPL Guide (FAQs) for more information on this process and how to apply.

We want to make your training experience as easy as possible from start to finish. Everyone has different circumstances and we will work with you to find the best training solution for your situation.
