Understanding the Hierarchy Of Controls in Demolition & Construction

Notice to Students – Important Information Before Enrolling

Welcome to Onshift.edu.au! We are committed to providing high-quality education and training to support your learning journey. Please read the following important information carefully before enrolling in any course.

1. Nationally Recognised Training vs Knowledge-Only Courses

Nationally Recognised Training:

• Courses displayed with a course code and title (e.g., CPCCDE4001 – Plan Demolition Work) are Nationally Recognised Training under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).
• These courses include both theoretical learning and practical performance evidence assessment.
• Upon successful completion, learners receive a Statement of Attainment that is recognised across Australia and may be used to apply for relevant industry licences, such as the NSW Demolition Supervisor Licence.

Knowledge-Only Courses (Subscription-Based):

• Knowledge-Only Courses are accessible via a monthly subscription plan.
• These courses contain the same theoretical content as the corresponding Nationally Recognised Training programs but do not include practical performance evidence assessments.
• They are designed for knowledge-building purposes only and are ideal for learners seeking to enhance their understanding without the need for formal certification.
• Learners do not receive a Statement of Attainment upon completing Knowledge-Only Courses.

2. Enrolment Confirmation & Payment Requirements

To ensure fair and transparent enrolment procedures, the following payment requirements apply:

• Subscription-Based Knowledge-Only Courses:

  • Enrolment is confirmed at the end of each payment period.
  • Access to course content is granted immediately upon payment, but official enrolment is only recognised once the monthly fee is fully paid and reconciled.
  • If payment is unsuccessful or cancelled before the end of the billing cycle, enrolment is not confirmed, and access may be restricted.

• One-Time Purchase (Nationally Recognised Training):

  • Enrolment is confirmed at the beginning of the course upon full payment of the course fee.
  • Learners are considered officially enrolled once the payment is processed and reconciled in full.
  • No partial enrolments or provisional access are granted.

Important Note:

• Students are only officially enrolled when the course fees are fully paid and reconciled. This applies to both subscription-based and one-time purchase courses.
• Access to assessments and certification is granted only once official enrolment is confirmed.

3. Upgrading to Nationally Recognised Training

Learners who complete a Knowledge-Only Course may upgrade to the corresponding Nationally Recognised Training by:

1. Paying the enrolment fee for the accredited course.
2. Successfully completing the required practical performance evidence assessments.
3. Meeting all other course requirements as specified.

Upon successful completion, learners will receive a Statement of Attainment, which is nationally recognised and can be used for licensing or professional purposes.

4. Statements of Attainment and Certification

• A Statement of Attainment is only issued for Nationally Recognised Training courses upon successful completion of all assessments, including both theoretical and practical performance evidence.
• Knowledge-Only Courses do not result in a Statement of Attainment, as they do not include practical assessments.

5. Industry Licensing and Compliance

• Only Nationally Recognised Training meets the formal requirements for industry licensing, regulatory compliance, or workplace accreditation.
• Knowledge-Only Courses are not sufficient for licensing purposes but can be used to enhance your knowledge and skills.

6. Prerequisites and Course Requirements

Before enrolling, please ensure you meet the prerequisites for your chosen course:

• Nationally Recognised Training requires a White Card (CPCCWHS1001 – Prepare to Work Safely in the Construction Industry) and relevant industry experience.
• Some courses may require medical fitness assessments or high-risk work licences, depending on the nature of the training.
• Knowledge-Only Courses have no formal prerequisites and are open to all learners.

7. Fees, Payments, and Subscription Details

• Nationally Recognised Training requires a one-time enrolment fee.
• Knowledge-Only Courses are accessible via a monthly subscription, which provides unlimited access to all theoretical content.
• Subscription can be upgraded at any time to include practical assessments for Nationally Recognised Certification.
• Enrolment Confirmation: As stated in section 2, enrolment is only confirmed once payment is fully processed and reconciled.

8. Student Support and Learning Resources

• All learners have access to:
  • Industry trainers and assessors for guidance.
  • Online learning materials, discussion forums, and study resources.
  • Assessment feedback and support for Nationally Recognised Training.

9. Refunds and Cancellations
