This option will give you access a full set of resources and an assessment file delivered by way of a Student Portal but note this is not an assessment-only pathway. There will be a CBD College trainer and assessor ‘touching base’ with you several times after you have enrolled to see that you are on ‘on track’ with your learning and that you are developing your WHS knowledge that you will need to undertake those assessments. These ‘touching base’ sessions will typically take place via Skype or Zoon or simply by a telephone call at pre-arranged times that is convenient to you. These sessions will also help to inform you on how you can gather the evidence required to show some of the skills (such as communication skills and participation in meetings), that we cannot see for ourselves as you are not undertaking a face-to-face class with us.

Please call us on 1300 616 218 if you want a further explanation if this option is for you.
