Delivery by Distance Learning

This method of course delivery allows participants to undertake the course at their own pace from any location (e.g. from home, work).

Distance learning can present a range of difficulties to learners and the following personal skills should be considered before enrolling into any distance learning course:

• Your ability to study from home without structured classroom sessions
• Your time management skills and commitment to self study/self motivation
• Your access to a computer and internet connection
• Your computer skills and ability to communicate with your course facilitator through an online forum
• Your language, literacy and numeracy skills to read, interpret course information and complete assessments

Once enrolled and payment received, participants are provided with (via post) a copy of all learning and assessment resources. Students will also receive an email with a user name/password for access to the online secure zone.

The online training page will provide students with course instructions, an electronic assessment submission form and online support with facilitators.

This course can be completed over the period of 12 months. Approximately 2hrs/week should be allocated to study time.

Assessments

All participants are required to competently complete all assessments. The written evidence required may be submitted by using our online submission form, by email or post. This evidence will demonstrate the required knowledge and skills for Occupational Health & Safety in the workplace. 

We recommend that you use your learning material workbooks to make notes in, and then submit your assessments electronically via the online secure zone.

To complete some of the assessment questions, it’s expected that some internet research will be required, therefore you will require a computer, internet connection and possibly access to a printer.

Payments

If you are unable to make the initial deposit payment for this qualification, contact us and we’ll discuss payment options with you.

If you receive a Not Yet Competent mark for any unit of competency, you will be given two weeks to resubmit the unit with the amendments made. If you receive another Not Yet Competent mark for that same unit, you will be required to pay the resubmission fee of $80 to have the unit marked again. To have your unit of competency marked again, you’ll need to email your assessor for further details on completing this.

Student Support

Training Aid Australia aims to provide as much support to students as we can. Students are provided with support through many forms but the most beneficial is the online forum.

The other forms of support available include:

• Our administrative team for any payment or certificate processing enquiries
  
• Email support from our qualified assessors
  
• One on one face to face support with a qualified assessor*

Recognition of Prior Learning

All students are offered the opportunity to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) or Recognition of Current Competencies (RCC). RPL/RCC can result through previous formal training or a candidate claiming that he/she is competent because of life-time or work experience, or some other combination of work practice to meet the requirements of the course.

Students interested in RPL/RCC must contact our head office prior to enrolment. Contact us to discuss RPL processes and determine if you should choose this learning pathway.
