How long will it take to complete?
The great thing with competency based training is that completion of a course is based on your ability to demonstrate your ability to perform to industry standard. This allows you to complete at your own pace.
There are no exams in the course, it is very practical and based upon things you’re going to face in a project environment.
We provide students with the ability to complete the Diploma of Work Health and Safety Practice over a one year period; however we find that the average time is between 3 to 6 months. During that time there is a large variance in the amount of time each student spends working on the qualification.

Thanks for your comment
does this also applys to international students
Yes it does, however you have to make sure that you are not on a study visa, otherwise I believe you are limited to go through a CRICOS provider. The way I understand it is that if you are based overseas (international) then it’s fine, however if in Aus on a study visa, I don’t think so. It may be best a question answered through the government body- just to make sure
