03.Tips for choosing an online course

  • Is the online training business registered and, if so, by which authority? 
  • Does the course lead to a qualification within the Australian Qualifications Framework? 
  • What are the computer and software requirements, and what level of computer literacy will be required? l Is there support available for technical issues? 
  • Don’t make up-front payments until you’re sure the course is officially recognised and meets your needs. 
  • Read the training contract carefully before you sign it and check the cancellation and refund conditions. 
  • Get a copy of the student handbook and make sure you understand the grievance and appeals policy.
