There are no mandatory entry requirements for this course; however, following IHNA admission criteria will be applicable:
*Mature age students (22+) may also be considered without the minimum education requirements. Each case will be reviewed individually to ascertain the capacity of the applicant to meet course requirements.
# Students below 18 years of age should have consent from their parents prior to getting enrolment in any courses.
In addition to meeting the academic requirements applicants must demonstrate their competence in literacy and numeracy levels in an Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) at exit Level 3 and participate in a pre-training review (PTR) when enrolling into the course.
IHNA highly recommends students to complete the immunisation process before the PEP start date as some facilities will not provide placement to students without Immunisation.
In the event that a student fails to meet the mentioned requirements, it may lead to exclusion from their practical placements, which could potentially result in an unsuccessful completion of the course.
Our approach is to collect evidence on whether the student can perform to the standards of the workplace. This is based on the relevant unit of competency, and you’ll find these tools being used:
The course will take 6-12 months to complete depending on you finishing your classes/ assessments on time and completing the placement.
Yes, all the theory classes are delivered online,The first 5 units SBA’s are online as well, then 9 units SBA’s will be delivered in campus.
No, it is blended.
Yes, it’s available.
It is not encouraged on a regular basis, as your attendance will be affected and you will not be marked for the unit.
The initial 5 units, including KBA and TA, are delivered online, followed by 9 units of theoretical study online, and the SBA is then carried out in a simulated environment, as specified in the training package. This means that skills must be exhibited in a workplace setting, supplemented by simulations and scenarios where the complete range of circumstances and situations may not have been provided in the actual workplace.
The teachers and students.
Yes, we have recorded sessions, which are available on the Microsoft Teams page, where our students take classes online. Full fees paying students can fast track the course, while those students availing government funding must meet all the requirements given by the relevant funding bodies.Full-fee paying students can see recordings and complete their Knowledge Based Assessments and Theory assessments faster, but the Simulation Based Assessment requires an educator, so we don’t do these for one student at a time, SBA’s are re done in group of 5 to 8 students so that all students in the group can learn together by supporting each other with the support of an educator.
There are no theory lectures, but we do go through theory assessments as well as SBA; most of our SBAs are only about 2 hours long, so there is no need for a break
Once course is completed, IHNA organise placement and students go for 1 week of clinical placements.
Assessments are marked daily, by IHNA trainers and educators. This will help students to fast track the course.
Yes, each of the three IHNA campuses has an industry class simulated lab with all of the necessary equipment to study Certificate III Pathology collection. Our trainers have industry experience and can provide you with all the assistance you need to complete this course at your plan.
Once the placement is completed and the student has completed all required documents and assessments, IHNA will award the certificates within 4 weeks.
