- We understand that you may already have many skills and areas of expertise that you have obtained in different ways and these are recognised through our Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process.
- We have developed an RPL application kit for this course.
- The Student Handbook provides more information about our RPL process. Alternatively, you can liaise with our administration staff to gain more information.
- Students are not required to repeat any unit or module in which they have already been assessed as competent, unless a regulatory requirement requires this. If a student provides suitable evidence that they have successfully completed a unit or module at any RTO, then they will be credited for that unit.
- In the case of any non-equivalent units of competency, an analysis will be undertaken to determine the equivalence of the study with the relevant units offered at INT Nurse Training before granting credit.
- Please note that providing credit for previous studies is not recognition of prior learning (RPL). RPL is an assessment-only pathway of determining the competence of a person, while proving credit is recognising the equivalence in content and learning outcomes between different types of learning and/or qualifications previously undertaken and completed successfully.
- The duration for the course is maximum 12 months.
Host Organisation Requirements
In all cases you will need to obtain a Working with Vulnerable People check as part of a National Police Clearance check, prior to commencing your placement. Our partner facilities will not let people commence placement without having the required clearances. This check can be obtained online. You will also be required to have a current first aid certificate (HLTAID003 Provide first aid). This short course can be undertaken at INT Nurse Training.
Physical Requirements
You will need to be physically fit as the role may involve a variety of tasks that require physical activity, such as providing direct personal care including showering, transferring and assisting clients with mobility and a range of other manual handling tasks. Please inform staff at enrolment if you have any physical disabilities or limitations as these may restrict you from participating in the practical components of the training and assessment.
