Duration: A combination of both on-the-job and off-the-job training is required to complete the qualification. A total of 49 hours of off-the-job training is required (the equivalent of 7 full days). We recommend either half day (8:00am – 11:30am) or full day sessions (8:00am – 3:30pm) to best fit into operational requirements.
Courses may be shortened considerably through students gaining exemption from units, or parts of units, under recognition of prior learning provisions. The main focus of RPL is to determine the student's current level of competency, so that courses can be tailored (and where possible shortened) to gain maximum benefit from each training investment.
