Course instructions

  • A username and password must be obtained from the registration process to participate in a course.
  • The course comprises 5 modules that should ideally be completed in order.

  • The overall course assessment and certificate is provided in Module 5 where final assessment is undertaken for Modules 1-4.

Note:

  • You can undertake this course at your own pace.
  • For each module the program remembers the last access so that when you re-enter the module you will go straight to where you left off previously.
  • To obtain a Certificate of Completion for the course a result of 80% or higher is required for the final assessment in Module 5. If this result is not obtained on the first attempt, you may reattempt the assessment after reviewing the course content.
