Semester Delivery
Semester courses split the six units of the Diploma into two separate semesters. This has the benefit of allowing you to spread the cost and commitment of the Diploma over two years. You must enrol for and complete the study hours for Semester One before you can enrol on Semester Two. However, you are not required to have received your results or passed all the examinable units of Semester One before you enrol on Semester Two.
Day Release Courses
This course format has been designed for those with full-time commitments but with the flexibility to attend classes for one day per week. It's a popular choice for trade professionals and employers looking to train staff with minimal disruption to their working week. This option allows time for private study between classes.
