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.

  • 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.
