Brief description of course and work roles
Entrance requirements
Selection will be based on industry experience, relevant previous education and an interview with APTC staff. Short-listed applicants will need to complete a literacy and numeracy assessment as part of the selection procedure as well as a Skills Assessment Program, which will help APTC staff determine your level within the Australian qualification system.
Duration
960 hours (maximum).
This course should take around 2 years part-time.
Actual time spent will depend on your individual circumstances. Some people will be exempted certain units if they have relevant work experience or qualifications. This system is known as Recognition of Current Competence (RCC) or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). If you think you may qualify for RCC/RPL, please submit evidence of your prior experience or learning with your application, as it may well shorten the length of your course. Ask for more information when you enrol.
