h&h offers students flexible learning options to fit in with their schedules. Students can choose to study via the following:

Classroom Education

h&h offers classroom training for all qualifications. Scheduled class information is available at the front reception. Course hours are listed on your confirmation letter upon enrolment (9:30am – 3:30pm). It is important that every possible effort is made to arrive at the venue on time and leave on time, to gain maximum benefit from your training. Trainers/assessors will provide each student with a current timetable for assessment due dates.

Students are required to attend each lesson. Frequent absences or lateness may result in a Not Yet Competent (NYC) result. If you are unable to attend class due to sickness or a personal issue, it is your responsibility to notify the college prior to class commencement on the day that you are unable to attend. Absences that are continuous may lead to a course suspension. Support is in place for students who require additional assistance and extensions on submissions.

Distance Education (Home Based Study/Paper Based)

For students that do not have access to classroom training, h&h offers distance education. Students have access to an onsite trainer/assessor, available for appointments, phone calls and emails. This is available for each qualification on our scope of registration. We have a simple 4-step enrolment process:

1. 1. student contacts the college to make an appointment for enrolment.
   2. completes enrolment paperwork, provides identification.
   3. student discusses payment options with college/accounts staff.
   4. student meets the distance co-ordinator and distance dedicated trainer/assessor.
   5. student can commence studies!

Students have access to trainers via email (with a guaranteed response within 24 hours on all course enquiries) or via phone. If a student requires additional support and would like to join a class for any unit, they can phone the college for timetable information. This is at no extra cost to the distance student. If student want to move to the class permanently to complete their course, then they must pay the fee gap.

Students can submit completed assessments via the following 3 options.

1. 1. Posted to the college (P.O. Box 1, Granville 2142)
   2. Scanned to the college email address ([email protected]) / [email protected]
   3. Handed in at college reception (98 South Street Granville)

Students will be notified of assessment outcomes within 14 days of receipt and provided feedback by their trainer/assessor.

Traineeship (Onsite Workplace training)

A Traineeship is a way in which you combine employment and training to gain a nationally recognised qualification. Trainees continue to work in their role while gaining new skills. Traineeships are usually full time but can also be part time. Our trainer/assessors will visit you on site every 4 weeks.

As part of the chosen qualification there is a theory and practical component that must be completed and marked as competent by the trainer. This includes monitoring for units requiring work placement. Progress reports will be sent every month to the Employer and Trainee with any updated progress of competent units.

If First Aid unit (HLTAID004 Provide an emergency first aid response in an education and care setting) is part of the chosen qualification this will be organised by h&h and conducted at the college. If First Aid unit has previously been completed, a copy of Certificate must be provided to the coordinator or trainer within 3 weeks along with a signed Credit Transfer form.

Each trainee will be provided with an expiry date by their Apprenticeship Network provider in which they will need to complete the requirements of the course to receive their full qualification.

Submitting assessments is as easy as posting, emailing, or handing to the trainer/assessor upon visits. An Apprenticeship Network Provider (ANP) will also assist a trainee throughout the traineeship regarding mentoring programs, incentives etc.

Mixed Mode (Online Training)

h&h is now delivering their qualifications online for students via Canvas. This portal allows students to access their work booklets and answer all assessment/quizzes online which will submit to their trainer automatically for marking. Upon completion of each unit students will receive feedback and results from their Trainers/Assessors within 14 days of receipt. Each student will be provided access to their student portal upon their finalisation of enrolment (a email notification will be sent with the login details to the email address provided from the student), if students have any questions/support needs the Online Coordinator will assist them through their journey. Appointments will be available with Trainer/Assessor or Zoom if more suitable.

Various assessment methods are used throughout your studies. The trainer/assessor collects sufficient evidence to demonstrate the student’s competence. These can include, but are not limited to:

• written questions and answers
• role play
• presentation
• workplace observation
• assessment tasks i.e. report writing, case study and questions

Trainers use a variety of teaching methods in the classroom, including group work, role plays, presentations, discussions, projects, in classroom assignments, take home assignments, projects and excursions.

Recognition of Prior Learning (also called RPL) is an assessment process that assesses an individual’s non-formal and informal learning to determine the extent to which that individual has achieved the required learning outcomes, competency outcomes, or standards for entry to, and/or partial or total completion of, a qualification.

Credit Transfer (also called CT) assesses the initial qualification or unit that an individual is using to claim access to, or the award of credit in, a destination course. The assessment determines the extent to which the client’s initial qualification or unit is equivalent to the required learning outcomes, competency outcomes, or standards in a qualification.

All students are entitled to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Transfer (CT).  Please ask for a copy of the application form should this apply to you.

Please note that h&h recognises AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

In some of h&h courses, students are required to participate in work placement where they develop and demonstrate the application of skills and knowledge in a workplace environment. The theoretical component of the course requires students to demonstrate knowledge, while the work placement component requires demonstration of practical skills in a real-life workplace situation. Work placement further provides students with the opportunity to work with other employees. By combining the theory and practical components of training, students gain valuable employability skills within a specific industry.

Students have the option to organise their own work placement, otherwise college staff are happy to arrange placement in one of the many facilities that h&h have a relationship with. Trainers regularly visit students during work placement.

Work placement hours are specific to some units of competency within the qualification and will be discussed when you start your studies. The following information outlines placement requirements by qualification:

• Early childhood education and care services students are required to complete their work placement at a long day care centre, catering to age groups 0 to 6.
• Aged care students are required to complete their work placement in a high care facility.
• Disability students are required to complete their work placement at an approved organisation.

Students should note that work placement may not be able to be commenced if assessments and all theoretical activities have not been completed and handed in.

Prior to commencing work placement, students are required to complete a National Police Check  for aged care and disability students, Working with Children Check for early childhood education and care students and complete first aid. All students are covered by the h&h Public Liability Insurance while on work placement.

h&h provides all students with access to a complaints and resolution process to ensure complaints are resolved as expeditiously and effectively as possible. All complaints and appeals are completed in the strictest of confidence, staff always adhere to privacy laws and confidentiality agreements.

Should there be a problem with any matter concerning students’ studies, the first instance is for the student to raise the concern with their trainer. If the matter is not resolved; students can then proceed to the formal complaint procedure which involves completing and lodging a complaints form to the manager. The complaint will be addressed by management and a response will be given within five business days. Should the student not be satisfied with the outcome received from the college, the student will be provided with the regulatory body contact information to escalate the complaint. In this instance, the regulator is Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA).

Students can also appeal if they disagree with their assessment results. The appeals process is completed by first discussing the results with the trainer. If this approach does not reach a resolution, the student can request an ‘Appeals Against Assessment Results Form’. Once completed, this form will be submitted to the team leader within seven days and the student will be notified of the outcome in writing within five business days.

How quickly you can complete your traineeship will depend on a range of factors including your competence and skills, the ability of your employer to provide you with the range of competencies required and the availability of your trainer. If you are completing a Certificate III you are permitted a maximum of 12 months as a fulltime employee and 24 months as a part time employee. If you are completing a Diploma via Advanced Entry you are permitted 18 months as a fulltime employee and 36 months as a part time employee. If you are completing a Diploma you are permitted 24 months as a fulltime employee and 48 months as a part time employee.

You have a date for when your employer agreed to enter a contract with you, the Apprenticeship Network Provider and h&h Accredited Training. It is called your ‘Training Contract Start Date’. The duration of your course starts from that date. Your ‘RTO Start Date’ means the date that an h&h Accredited Training representative came to your workplace to officially enrol you into a course.

By prior arrangement, you may be permitted an extension of your training contract. Your employer and trainer will have to agree to the extension, and you will need to apply for this 6-8 week before your end date. You and your employer will need to fill in a variation application form (available from your apprenticeship Network Provider). You will be notified upon receipt of confirmation letter from training services granting you an extension. If your employer does not agree, you may gain re-admission into the course at h&h Accredited Training to study via another delivery mode. A re-admission fee may apply. The administration team will provide you with all your new enrollment details.

You will need to inform h&h Accredited Training and your Apprenticeship Network Provider and decide if you would like to continue studying. You may choose to continue your studies with us via distance, online or classroom mode. This is subject to availability and fees may apply. If you decide not to continue with your studies we will cancel our third party direct debits and issue you with a Statement of Attainment for the units you have completed.

If you change jobs and are working in the same industry, speak to your employer to see if they are happy for you to continue your traineeship. Let your Apprenticeship Network Provider know and we can send a form to your employer to complete and apply for the transfer of your traineeship.

Please let h&h and your Apprenticeship Network Provider know if your workplace has changed ownership.
The new owner will need to agree for you to continue your traineeship and complete a ‘change of employer’ form.

As a trainee, you should be treated the same as any other employee in the workplace. If you feel you are being treated unfairly, you should take action as soon as possible. Bring up any grievances with your employer and follow the company grievance procedure. If the matter cannot be resolved, contact your Apprenticeship Network Provider to assist you further.

You are assessed on your practical skills as well as theory. You may have completed all theory work, but your employer and h&h assessor require you to competently demonstrate practical skills in line with the theory completed prior to successful completion of your qualification.

We are unable to provide advice on pay conditions. You can go to the Fair Work ‘Pay Calculator’ –  https://calculate.fairwork.gov.au/FindYourAward or phone Fair Work Australia. If you believe that you are not being paid correctly, speak to your employer. You may also contact the Fair Work Ombudsman.

Subsidies are available to trainees who are new entrants, but not those who are existing workers. A person is eligible to be approved as a new entrant trainee if they have been employed by their traineeship employer:
for less than 3 months as a full-time, full-time equivalent part-time/casual, or a combination of these prior to the commencement of the traineeship;
for less than 12 months as a part-time or part-time equivalent casual employee prior to the commencement of the traineeship;
for less than 12 months in a combination of part-time, casual and full-time (or equivalent) employment prior to the commencement of the traineeship.
Existing worker trainees are required to pay full fees. An existing worker is defined as a person who has been employed within an enterprise continuously for more than 3 months full-time or 12 months casual or part-time or a combination of both, immediately prior to commencement of the training contract

Your employer has signed and agreed (on your Training Plan) ‘Withdraw my apprentice/trainee from routine work duties, with pay, for a minimum of 3 hours per week, averaged over a 4 weeks period, for the purpose of undertaking formal training/assessment. This means that over 4 weeks, you should be allowed 12 hours study time. If you work part time this will be calculated on a pro rata basis (calculated on the number of days/hour you work).

First, speak to your employer. Remind them that the training you are required to receive is detailed in your Training Plan. You can then discuss the matter with h&h Accredited Training and your Apprenticeship Network Provider.

The employer is not obliged to cover the cost of training for an existing worker, unless specified under the Award relevant to the industry information located – https://www.fairwork.gov.au/awards-and-agreements . If your employer chooses, they may pay for your training, a portion of your training or reimburse the cost upon completion.

You are eligible to apply for a Transport Concession Entitlement Card if you are registered with Training Services NSW and in an active apprenticeship or new entrant traineeship approved by them. To fill out the form, please visit http://apps.transport.nsw.gov.au/cec/

You are permitted, with prior consultation with your employer and h&h Accredited Training to take leave for holidays, maternity leave and medical leave. You will be required to discuss this with your trainer and a plan will be put in place as to how you will make up the work you miss out on.

You should keep:
The approval letter from the NSW Government with your TCID number, a copy of your training contract, records of time worked and payslips, results emailed to you by your trainer, a copy of all assessments submitted to your trainer.

If you are struggling with the written work it is important to ask for help. You can call or email your trainer. If your trainer is not available you can call our office on 9682 0100 and we will put you through to someone who can help you. You can also attend classes at the college in Granville for extra support or one on one appointments; please contact the college if this is suitable.

Your trainer will visit you approximately every 4-6 weeks. This will vary depending whether you work fulltime or part time. Remember that you are always able to call or email your trainer outside of scheduled visits.

When your trainer visits they will collect any assessments and can answer any questions you have about them (it is advisable to ask these questions before they visit, so you are ready to submit your assessments). They will provide you with new assessments. They will monitor your practical skills and discuss your progress in course work and practical skills with your employer.

Adult learning is very different from school and you will be marked differently. You will not be required to sit any exams. You will not receive a grade, but will be marked either satisfactory or not yet satisfactory by a range of methods including theory (this will be found in your assessment book and is made up of short answer questions, projects, portfolios) and observations. If you are marked not satisfactory, you will be given 3 attempts and guided feedback from your trainer on how to answer the question and where to locate the information to ensure you understand the unit of competency.
