Course Extensions

All accredited qualifications have a maximum time limit permitted for completion.

The durations have been determined by addressing the volume of learning requirements as indicated by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). It is important that students adhere to these time limits to ensure the training and assessment they receive reflects the most current industry practices.

However, if a student is unable to complete a qualification in the allocated time frame, they may apply to request an enrolment extension period. Extensions are granted on a case by case basis and fees are payable as per the fees schedule.

To apply for an extension the student must complete and submit a Student Course Amendment Form and make payment in full two (2) weeks prior to the expected course completion date. Failure to do so will result in course cancellation and the student will not be able to access the Moodle Online Learning account. If the student wishes to continue, they will be required to re-enrol (fees apply as per the fees schedule) in any units not yet completed and meet any competency gaps if there have been changes to the course content since initial enrolment.

The following table sets out the study duration for online courses that may be applied to an enrolment. For all on-campus/intensive based courses – please refer to the Statement of Enrolment for the expected completion date.

After the initial course duration, extensions may be granted on a case by case basis. Fees will apply as outlined in the fees table.
