How long do I have to finish the course, and what if an assessment is marked Not Satisfactory?

You have 12 months from enrolment to complete the course, and all written assessments must be submitted within 12 months of enrolment. An assessment is not accepted if your full name, your signature and date, or any part of the assessment is missing.

Each assessment task is marked Satisfactory or Not Satisfactory. You are given three attempts to resubmit each assessment per unit of competency, and re-assessment focuses on the tasks previously marked Not Satisfactory. A unit is marked Competent only when all required assessments are marked satisfactory on or before the due date.
