Frequently Asked Questions

If I already work in the industry, can I complete my work placement through my current employer?

icon

Yes, you can. Your trainer will work with you directly to approve your workplace and ensure you have the support you need.

Why is work placement valuable?

icon

Work placement allows you to develop the skills and knowledge learned in your course. You will also gain confidence and get real-world experience in your preferred industry.

How long will it take to find a work placement?

icon

Our new Guaranteed Work Placement program means we can arrange a placement in as little as three weeks*. To help us meet this three-week target, make sure you attend any scheduled interviews and choose from the three placement options we offer. We do our best to find placements within 20km of your home. However, if you live in a regional area, finding the perfect fit might take a little longer.

*Guarantee Conditions: To maintain the three-week placement guarantee, you must attend scheduled interviews and select one of the three placement options provided. If all options are declined or interviews missed, the guarantee cannot apply. We strive to arrange placements within 20km of your home, however, if you're based in a regional area, you may experience a longer wait time or need to consider placements further from home to ensure timely completion.
