Students may need to complete some self-paced learning and assessment activities outside class time. This will be different for each course and will depend on a student’s level of skill and experience.

Class days and times in the above table are indicative. Prior to course commencement, changes may be necessary. Follow the link for more information on Attendance mode definitions. When you submit your application, please make sure you answer all the questions. Only successful applicants with complete applications will receive an offer. We issue offers as soon as possible. Follow the link for more information on Offer timing.

Many courses have limited places and high demand. We may close an intake before the date above. We recommend you apply early. If student numbers are insufficient we may cancel an intake or a course. An application does not guarantee a place in this course.

Additional attendance information

This program is offered as either:

  • a 12-month part-time program with day or evening classes offered face-to-face in a classroom or online via Zoom
  • a six-month intensive program delivered as a full day per week online via Zoom

Students are required to complete 10-20 hours per week of self-paced study and evaluation exercises outside of class (dependent on study mode).  This will also differ according to the student’s level of knowledge and experience.

Pre-training review

Each student must complete a pre-training review as part of their application. The outcome of your pre-training review assists our teachers and trainers to better understand your capabilities prior to training and enables you to be matched to the right program.
