FAQs for Training Courses

2. What are the cost of the courses? Please contact us for a customised, in-house delivery course cost or the cost of attending one of our open public courses.
3. What requirements do I need to attend the course? Please refer to the Learner Handbook for each relevant course to determine if there are any pre-requisites for the courses. We do advise that learners wanting to complete our nationally recognised training and qualification are mature aged students who have emergency management responsibilities within their workplace or volunteer role. Additionally, learners also need to be mature aged students who have completed secondary schooling and/or completed other qualifications.
4. Do any of the units of competency in your courses lead to the PUA60112 Advanced Diploma of Public Safety (Emergency Management) qualification? Yes, both the units in the Level 1 Incident Management Course are elective units of the qualification. In addition, any two of the Level 2 Incident Management Course units also qualify as electives for the PUA60112 Advanced Diploma of Public Safety (Emergency Management) qualification. So, if you were to complete the Level 1 and Level 2 Incident Management courses, you would have fulfilled all four elective units of the Advanced Diploma of Public Safety (Emergency Management) qualification.

11. Is distance learning for me? Distance learning is an ideal way to study for those who wish to fit their studies in and around their work and familial commitments. It is not for everyone as it comes with its own challenges. However, if you are an independent and motivated learner who wish to study at their own pace, then this is an alternative to the in-class option.
