Practical learning is not the same for every course
Trade qualifications may involve workshop activities and demonstrations. Care and community service qualifications may involve practical assessment and vocational placement. Ask for the exact requirements of the course you are considering.
02
Confirm who arranges a placement
Before enrolment, ask whether placement is required, the approved setting, hours, timing and responsibilities for arranging it. Confirm what assistance Apeiro provides and what you need to organise yourself. No guaranteed placement is represented on this website.
03
Already employed in a relevant setting?
Your workplace may be considered for learning or assessment only if it meets the qualification requirements and is approved. Your existing job does not automatically replace mandatory practical requirements.
04
Prepare for the setting
Ask about supervision, screening checks, equipment, insurance arrangements and additional costs relevant to the setting. Confirm these details before accepting a placement or practical arrangement.
CLEAR ANSWERS
Good questions. Useful answers.
Is a work placement guaranteed?
This website does not promise a placement. Request the current placement arrangements and support responsibilities directly from Apeiro before enrolling.
Can I use my current workplace?
Possibly, subject to suitability, qualification requirements and provider approval. Discuss the setting and your duties with Apeiro.
