Start time and duration

You can start anytime for self paced, distance learning!  You will work through workbooks and other activities to learn your new skills.  If you are currently working, a good gauge would be one unit per month.  However, your coach will work with you to determine a Personal Learning Agreement that is tailored to suit your job and lifestyle.  We set a maximum time frame of 12 months.

Learning Process

Corelink is an expert and reputable training organisation. We only offer outstanding levels of professionally coached services. Your course will be fully tailored to suit you, your goals, your challenges and your lifestyle.

Fortnightly Telephone Coaching: You and your coach will agree on pre-determined, fortnightly telephone coaching times. Your coach will work with you to ensure you achieve your qualification according to your Personal Learning Agreement.  You will be personally inducted into Corelink by your coach. This way, you will completely understand Corelink’s website, learning tools and assessment processes. You won't have any questions unanswered and you will feel comfortable and supported.

About your Coach: Corelink coaches are very experienced and are selected due to the fact that they:

• Currently work in industry as reputable and established trainers

Asessment Process

Depending upon your personal experiences, for each unit you may submit some of the following for assessment:

1. Portfolio of Evidence
2. Supervisor's Checklist (verifying your work)
3. Team Member's Checklist (supporting your work)
4. Workplace Projects (proving your skills and knowledge)
5. Answers to Underpinning Knowledge Questions
   Your general subject knowledge will also be monitored by your coach

When you have collected all your evidence, you give it to your coach.  Your coach will determine when you are ready to receive your qualification. You can work as quickly or as slowly as you like, depending on your job and your lifestyle. RPL is always an option if you believe you can demonstrate current competency.
