Course Overview
As COVID-19 restrictions ease, our course delivery continues to feature a combination of on campus and remote (online) learning. This flexibility allows students to continue to study in a safe, guided and supported manner and reduces the impact to students if the current COVID-19 restrictions change again with short notice. You will be advised by your facilitator on a case by case basis how your course is currently being delivered and which resources you will need to be able to successfully undertake your studies.
