Frequently Asked Questions

What Do I Need to Provide for My practical assessments?
If you are currently employed in an RTO, you have the option to utilize various resources available at your workplace, subject to permission (please inquire about the required materials at the commencement of your course). If you are not associated with an RTO, we will provide all necessary materials; however, certain elements are your responsibility regardless of the chosen option:
• A minimum of four people to be learners for a face-to-face, in-person, group-based training
• An additional person (cannot be one of the four above) to be a learner who requires 1-on-1 mentoring, doing a workplace-based training.
The people you choose may be family, friends and/or colleagues. You just need to record the training session and be able to upload the recording to us via your Online Portal (you have unlimited tech support if you need help doing this part).
Note: If using family/ friends, they must be 16+ years old to be considered one of your learners.
