Education is a commitment that requires investment from both yourself as the student and us as your training provider. Our programs are designed to provide our students with the opportunity to develop skills, knowledge and opportunities that occur through personal development.
We believe learning needs to be fun and engaging and we look forward to sharing your learning journey with you.
The student handbook provides you with the information required to assist you in understanding how the training system works, your obligations and what you can expect from us as your training provider. The handbook is an important reference to assist you throughout your learning experience. It covers what you need to know and information that you will find useful, such as:
