How?

The course is delivered two days per week in the classroom over six to eight months – dependent on length of time taken to complete the work placement component. Times are generally 9:30 am to 3:00 pm, but these hours can be flexible to your needs. You also get hands-on experience through the 120-hour placement. Work placement hours are agreed to with the host school.

The course can also be offered through our traineeship mode at the workplace if you are already employed or seeking to undertake a formal traineeship with a school. Your will study in your free time or during study leave, if through a formal traineeship, and a trainer will visit you at the workplace at least once a month.

Training is delivered with Victorian and Commonwealth Government Funding. Individuals with a disability are encouraged to access government subsidised training.
