Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, we have adapted our course delivery to now encompass a combination of remote and flexible delivery methods. This includes easy to navigate online tutorials, interactive learning (using a mix of live demonstrations and the ability to connect with your classmates and teachers for support) as well as face-to-face practical assessments and work placements - where safe and practical to implement. Therefore, you will require access to the internet and a computer to undertake this course. Our flexible model allows you to continue to study in a safe, guided and fully supported manner with continued access to all learning, personal and wellbeing supports.
Practical Placement is a mandatory component of this course. Bendigo TAFE's Industry Placement Coordinator will assist students with their placement needs in approved host organisations. Bendigo TAFE will make efforts to secure an appropriate placement. Due to the current environment and circumstances outside our control placements may be delayed. This may then impact the completion dates for this course and deferment of graduation.
Before you can start your practical placement, you will need to provide the following compulsory requirement
A valid Working with Children Check (Volunteer)
A satisfactory National Police Check - National Police checks are conducted via fit2work. An account with fit2work will be created using the students name and the issued student email address, once studies in the program have commenced.
