All recordings from conferences and webinars are located in your Community and Counselling Online Live Class under the tab 'Conference'

There is no need for a textbook in any of the Community and Counselling courses as we provide a comprehensive learner guide. We do provide a text book in the Diploma of Counselling after a student has completed the second unit of competency, this is used to enhance learning. 

Yes, you can still submit, we set you due dates to encourage you to stay on track with your course work, however, you can submit earlier, and if you are submitting late, we will still accept your assessment.

The assignment in your current subject must be completed and marked before the next unit unlocks

These can be found in your Online Live course under Announcements.

On your assignment, you press submit this will allow you to record directly into your assessment.

Yes, on the first page of your learner guide you will find a link to the PDF for that unit. When you click on this link it will download the learner guide to your computer

It is your responsibility to dedicate the time and commitment required to complete the course you have enrolled into.

4. Students who meet the eligibility criteria set in the Australis College VFH Special Circumstances and Review Policy (POL_TA_VFH1) will be considered by the Chief Operations Officer and notified in writing of the outcome.

As our course is completed online, we require all student assessments to be uploaded to iTrain, the online student portal. This process is required for quality, recording and compliance purposes. If you are unable to upload documents or assessments through iTrain, please join one of the live classes or contact the training team so we can work with you to submit your assessments as required.

Yes. Log into iTrain with your current password. On the top left-hand side of your screen, click on ‘account’, and then click on ‘settings’.

On the right-hand side of the screen, you will then see ‘edit settings’, which you click on. All of your name and time zone details will appear. Under that information is where you click ‘change password’. You will then be able to create a new password.

In the introduction of each unit, you will find a link to the PDF of the learner guide towards the bottom of the introduction page. We are currently working on each unit to provide this link to all courses. If there is currently no link available to the PDF, please email the training team at community@australiscollege.edu.au requesting a copy of the PDF learner guide to be emailed to you. In your email please ensure that you provide the unit code. 

If your course requires placement, you will be able to complete a National Police Check through Australis College. This is located in your Online Live course under volunteering preparation. 

In that section, you will find a link to the National Police Check. There are detailed instructions on how to complete the police check.

Most importantly, the documents are to be completed by hand, 100 points of certified (signed by a JP) is required and all of these documents should be legible and clear to read.

Once you have completed your documentation and have your certified identification, upload these into the National Police check section by clicking ‘submit assessment’.

If you already have a current completed National Police Check, you are not required to complete one through us. We do not need a copy of your completed check.

If your course has requirements to complete volunteer placement hours, we recommend that students start these hours by the second unit. For most students, we recommend completing placement one day per week for a 5-8 hours per week. It is important to note that there are a number of units that require placement to complete assessment items. You will need to complete placement for the duration of your course.

If you work in the community services industry and your role fits with the course you are studying, then you may be able to complete your placement in your current workplace. It is important that you discuss your role with a trainer prior to completing placement documentation to ensure that it is an appropriate role/workplace to be completing your assessment work. You will need to provide the training team with a copy of your position description and a letter from HR stating how long you have worked in that role so we can ensure that your current role will be able to support you to completing the assessments. Please note, your work should involve working directly with clients in the industry rather than an administration or another non-industry related role. Please contact the training team on 1300 887 991 alternatively join a virtual class to discuss completing the placement in the workplace.

The simple answer is No. As many of our assessments are linked to placement, you are required to be on placement for the duration of your course. Placement is a valuable learning tool which can help provide practical experience to enhance your knowledge and skills of your course. Placement may help you to link with other networks, gain employment or even have your supervisor as a reference for future job applications. You should start your placement by your second unit.

Assessments are marked within five (5) business days of submitting. Sometimes the assessors may mark a little bit quicker or a little bit longer due to the number of assessments in an assessor’s queue. As they are marked in the order they are received, we try to have the assessment turn around as quick as possible. If you have not received your assessment back within five (5) business days, please email the training team at community@australiscollege.edu.au so we can follow up with an assessor for you.

Community Linkup (previously known as Community Link) is not a real service. Australis College has created Community Linkup as a simulated organisation to support you to demonstrate and complete assessments in role-play scenarios. When an assessment refers to Community Linkup, you are to assume that it is a service in your community.

If you receive feedback from an assessor that you don’t understand, it is important that you contact the training team on 1300 887 991 or email us at community@australiscollege.edu.au.

Please email the feedback provided, the unit code, the assessment number and what it is about the assessment feedback that you are unsure of. Our training team can help to work through the feedback provided to support you to complete your assessment.

As this is an online course, we recommend that you work online. Australis College is committed to the learning experience of students to provide high-quality training which will provide graduates with industry-ready knowledge and skills when they have completed the course. We continually work with industry specialists, industry feedback and student feedback to update our coursework to achieve a high standard for our students. If you are working offline, you may not be aware of the updates that have occurred and may be working on previous version assessments. Working online ensures that you are completing the most up-to-date coursework.

Some of our assessments are completed with trainers and assessors to support you to develop the skills required in a controlled, supportive environment. When completing role plays and practical assessments with assessors, these are completed through the Online Live course through the virtual classroom in iTrain. You will need to contact the training team to organise a time to complete the assessments.

We encourage students to work in order and complete one unit at a time. This helps to learn holistically and focus on one subject at a time. Some of our units are built upon the skills and knowledge learnt in a previous unit, therefore, completing them in order helps to complete later assessments. Our order of units has been developed in consultation with industry stakeholders and subject matter experts, which have helped to structure the course to best support student learning. There may be a few exceptions to working out of order, however, these individual needs should be discussed with a trainer.

Role plays provide an opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge that you have learnt throughout the course. The instructions for role plays are included in each role play assessment. You may be required to complete role plays with friends, family or anyone willing to participate that is over 16 years old and provide consent to participate.

Participants should read any scenarios and discuss the purpose of the assessment prior to the role play being recorded. These should not be scripted, instead, allow the assessor to assess your knowledge and skills of the role play.

Role plays can be recorded using the record function on the assessment or using a smartphone. Students can use a free program ‘handbrake.fr’ to shrink the file to upload it into the assessment before uploading

The trainers work as a training team rather than individual trainers, so you are not assigned one particular trainer. The best ways to get hold of the training team include:

• Virtual Class
• Phone: 1300 887 991 through business hours
• Email: community@australiscollege.edu.au

The best way to speak to a trainer is through the virtual class function. 

The training team is here to provide support. The most effective thing you can do when you are needing support with your studies is to ask for it.

While our training team is effective, we are unable to tell when you are struggling without you telling us. Call, send an email, attend one of the many live classrooms that we have available to reach out for help.

As this is an online course, we recommend that you work online. Australis College is committed to the learning experience of students to provide high-quality training which will provide graduates with industry-ready knowledge and skills when they have completed the course. We continually work with industry specialists, industry feedback and student feedback to update our coursework to achieve a high standard for our students. If you are working offline, you may not be aware of the updates that have occurred and may be working on previous version assessments. Working online ensures that you are completing the most up-to-date coursework.

We encourage students to work in order and complete one unit at a time. This helps to learn holistically and focus on one subject at a time. Some of our units are built upon the skills and knowledge learnt in a previous unit, therefore, completing them in order helps to complete later assessments. Our order of units has been developed in consultation with industry stakeholders and subject matter experts, which have helped to structure the course to best support student learning. There may be a few exceptions to working out of order, however, these individual needs should be discussed with a trainer.

The training team is here to provide support. The most effective thing you can do when you are needing support with your studies is to ask for it.

While our training team is effective, we are unable to tell when you are struggling without you telling us. Call, send an email, attend one of the many live classrooms that we have available to reach out for help.

You might find looking for a study buddy in the study buddy section in iTrain or looking through some of the forums. Reach out for support with your studies as soon as you need support, rather than letting the struggles build and getting further behind in your studies.

You only need to submit the questions that were marked as incorrect. Your trainer will indicate how many time you can try this.

It is your responsibility to dedicate the time and commitment required to complete the course you have enrolled into. However, if you have any concerns or circumstances impacting on your ability to complete your course within your study plan timeframe, please contact your Trainer or our Student Support team on 1300 887 991 or email support@australiscollege.edu.au. They are able to offer advice options, and/or discuss tools and techniques to assist you towards completion.
