Fees do apply for each student but are charged to the Training Organisation/RTO.
Facilitator
A facilitator from the Training Organisation is expected to attend for a short period in the first week of placement and in the last week to assess the student’s progress.
Get in touch
We do not deal directly with students but rather with the Placement Coordinator at the Training Organisation or RTO, who organise the placement with us on behalf of the student.
