The course is delivered over 64 study weeks. (Up to 94 weeks including holidays) Students must log a minimum of 400 supervised, ‘paid’ or ‘unpaid’, work experience hours. The student is responsible for collecting evidence proving the supervised ‘paid’ work experience hours. Supervised ‘unpaid’ work experience placements must be approved by the General Manager before starting the work experience hours. In addition, the college will provide a logbook to record the work experience hours which we will check on completion.

Students study between 3 to 7 units across an eight-study week term then have a 2 week “Research Break”. Students are required to participate in the training as a condition of their visa.

We offer intakes every week except holiday and Research Break weeks. The courses are assessed through Assignments/ Workbooks, Case Studies, Written Tests and Observation Checklists. Academique supports recognition of prior learning. Students who have substantial painting and decorating will be allowed to apply for a ‘Fast Track’ option. (If on a student visa early completion must be reported via PRISMS.)
