Pathway 1

Domestic virtual classroom + practical

This pathway is for domestic students who want scheduled online trainer contact before attending supervised practical training and assessment.

Online theory and virtual classroom sessions help students prepare for practical training. Practical training and assessment are completed separately through scheduled supervised sessions.

This is a 1-year online fast-track pathway with mandatory scheduled practical training and assessment. Before enrolment, students receive information about attendance, assessment, LLND, PPE, practical participation and available support.

Pathway 2

Self-paced online cohort

The self-paced cohort is a 1-year online fast-track pathway that supports flexible theory preparation through structured online learning. Students must still complete the required practical training and assessment.

What learners receive

Access to structured online modules, learner guides, visual resources, knowledge checks, support materials and trainer contact points.

What online learning does not replace

It does not replace supervised practical training, direct observation, authenticated practical evidence or qualified assessor judgement.

18-module structure

The 18 modules organise learning. They are not separate accredited courses and do not each equal one unit of competency.
