Entry Requirements / Minimum Age
There are no specific entry requirements for this course; however, students must be able to read basic texts and be able to communicate with their Trainer in English to enable learning to occur. Participants must be at least 16 years old. If candidates are under 18 their enrolment form must be signed by a parent or guardian.
Course Duration
The (full) course duration is scheduled to run for five (7-hour) days per week over a 3-5 week period, depending on the intake. During this time, participants will be given classroom tutorials and activities and will also be asked to complete up to 6 hours of self-paced activities each week to reinforce their learning. Following the program, students will continue to have access to their Trainer or another 1 Education Trainer to assist their where needed at any stage during their Certificate 3 level studies.
Recognition of Prior Learning and Credit Transfer
All 1 Education students are provided with an opportunity to claim any advanced credit for their past studies or life experiences where that experience overlaps with the subjects contained in the course we are offering.
That said, the target audience for this program will not typically hold many existing competencies and will not be encouraged to pursue Recognition of Prior learning (RPL) for their existing skills and knowledge.
The main aim of this program is to deliver only the units of competency needed by the student to develop foundation skills and increase their likelihood of successfully completing a Certificate 3 level vocational program.
Therefore, while some students may be awarded a full qualification, it is not the primary aim of studying these foundation subjects.

This process will involve a written activity, followed by an informal conversation or interview with your Assessor. From this process you will receive a personalised Training Plan that includes any foundation subjects, as well as your Certificate 3 program, ensuring that you strengthen any foundation skills where needed prior to commencing their related Certificate 3 subjects.
