of 2 Instructions for completing your enrolment form Smart and Skilled Contract for Sydney Metro – Face to face and Online Training

Student Handbook

Before completing your Enrolment Form you must read the student handbook. This handbook contains vital information about your training and about The Centre for Training in Social Housing (CTSH). Link to handbook: http://www.communityhousing.org.au/T_training/Student%20Handbook%20June%202015%20V2.0.pdf Link to Centre for Training in Social Housing Policy Documents and enrolment forms: http://www.communityhousing.org.au/smartandskilled/s_menu_students.html

Course Details Please note that face to face training sessions are not completed in a single day. In addition to the face to face training day/s, you will need to undertake independent study to complete your Assessment Tasks. You must then send your completed Assessment Tasks to your Trainer by a set date. Cut off dates for assessment varies – your Trainer will advise you of these during face to face training. For all online training, we use the Learning Management System called ‘Moodle’. A full induction on how to use Moodle is available to all new students. Generally, it takes 4 to 5 weeks to undertake your study for each online unit.

Employment and statistical information As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), CTSH is required to collect certain data. If you would like more information about how and why we collect this data, please email the Training Manager at [email protected]

Authorising Manager’s Signature Where your employer is paying for your training or providing study leave or other support, it is essential that your enrolment is authorised by your manager or supervisor on page 4. (i.e. whoever is responsible for authorising your training)

Choosing your core and elective units There are 15 Units in the CHC42215 Certificate IV in Social Housing Qualification, made up of 8 Core/Compulsory and 7 Elective Units. Some Units are common to both CHC42215 Certificate IV and the CHC52015 Diploma of Community Services. Choosing these may save you some work in completing the Diploma, should you wish to do so at a later date. You are not required to select all of your units for the Cert IV (although you are welcome to do so if you want). You may decide to select units progressively over the course of your Cert IV. However, when selecting your units please ensure to select the number of units that are manageable for you. For example, with online training a maximum of 1-2 units per month is generally manageable. This equates to approximately 6-8 hours a week to complete your work. As a general guide, allow 12 months to complete the Certificate IV. Of course, you are free to enrol in more Units if you believe you can complete your training in less time. The same applies to face to face training – if you are doing face to face training a maximum of 1-2 units a month is generally achievable given that some assessment is done in class and the majority of assessments must be completed independently by you within 4 weeks of the session. As a general guide, allow 12 months to complete a Certificate IV. Of course, you are free to enrol in more Units if you believe you can complete your training in less time.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) & Credit Transfer Please contact the Training Manager directly to apply for RPL: [email protected] You may be eligible for Credit Transfers if you have completed accredited training with another Registered Training Organisation such as TAFE. Please provide certified copies of your transcripts at the time you submit your enrolment Centre for Training in Social Housing form. If there is a delay in providing the certified copy, please let us know. If you are transitioning from the previous CHC40912 Certificate IV in Social Housing you will be eligible for RPL for Units completed however there may be additional assessments to complete but you won’t have to attend the training again

If you are flying to Sydney for a Training session please don’t make any airline or accommodation booking until you have received your Training reminder email. We will try and get these out as early as possible.

The New Training Package All students enrolled in the CHC40912 Certificate IV in Social Housing will be transitioning into new qualifications. Qualifications not completed will be delivered under the new qualification making this a seamless transition. There may be an additional assessment task in some Units however there will not be any fees associated with this transition. A final word
