Course

The course is delivered over a period of 6 to 12 months. The first 18 weeks of the course are delivered on campus in our state of the art training facilities located at 28 Elizabeth St, Melbourne 3000.

Upon satisfactory completion of the first 18 weeks, learners will be able to undertake practical placement in the industry where they will be required to complete a minimum of 36 shifts, usually at the rate of one shift per week. Due to the competency based nature of the course, the frequency of shifts may be altered if mutually agreed to by all parties. Such a change may also alter the delivery period of the qualification.

Learners will be required to undertake some self-paced learning, which on average will be up to 14 hours per week.

The program is fun, hands-on and ensures the safety of learners, allowing them to develop their skills in our safe simulated working environment before applying and consolidating their skills in the workplace. CHT Melbourne embraces a hands-on philosophy to training, as we believe the only way for you to learn how to do something is to do it yourself.
