What is the course duration?

This course has been designed to be delivered over 108 weeks with 80 weeks of scheduled classes and 28 weeks holidays.

Courses are run regularly throughout the year.

How is the course trained and assessed?

This program is to be delivered in a classroom based environment with access to a fully equipped engineering workshop.

All theory and practical based delivery and assessment will occur within the designated classrooms and engineering workshop of the RTO through structured training sessions from a qualified Trainer / Assessor employed by the RTO. At these training sessions a qualified Trainer/ Assessor will provide the required skills and knowledge as per the unit content and will ensure the learning is imparted.

The course also involves students completing some reading and written work outside the scheduled classroom delivery time.
