Mode of Delivery
All of our Programs have a strong focus on practical application, where students will learn within a simulated workplace environment. Students will work with our highly skilled trainers to observe Trainer demonstrations, practice their skills and receive one on one feedback, gather hints and tips about working in the industry, and reviewing the latest trends.
Flexible Approach – One day a week
We understand that learners have different needs and commitments and therefore we have restructured our program to work with your schedule. Our blended learning module works by delivering highly practical face to face classes one day a week for 20 weeks. Online learning will be theory based and you are able to go at your own pace. This means the flexiblity to finish from just 20 weeks if you are wanting to fast track your certificate, or spend more time on theory if you have other commitments. The choice is yours.
Structured classes are conducted every Monday 9.30am to 2.30pm at the Academy. Our trainers will guide you through the entire course program.
