TYPES OF TRAINING
Online Training Only
This type of training is conducted entirely over the internet through our e-learning platform. Participants can access the training materials and lectures from anywhere with an internet connection. Online training is self-paced, allowing learners to work at their own speed. The training must be completed within the specified time (See the section: ONLINE TRAINING).
Online Training as a part of In-Class Training
This type of training combines online learning with in-person classroom instruction. Learners must watch lectures and read provided materials prior to attending the in-person classes or workshops. The online training serves as an introduction and supplement to the in-class training sessions.
In-Class Practical Training
This type of training takes place entirely in a classroom or simulated clinical setting. It focuses on hands-on practice of skills and techniques in a controlled environment, with trainers providing immediate feedback and guidance. Prior to attending a practical training, students must complete an online introductory training.
In-Class Complete Training (Theory & Practice)
This type of training includes both theoretical classroom instruction and practical hands-on practice. Learners attend sessions that combine lectures and workshops to learn concepts and theories, then apply those concepts in real-world scenarios under the guidance of a trainer.
Work Experience Session
This type of training is designed to provide learners with simulated on-the-job experience in their field. Participants work in a simulated clinical setting under the supervision of experienced professionals, gaining practical skills and knowledge through hands-on experience.
ONLINE TRAINING
To enrol in an online training course, students must create a student account on our website and pay the course fee upfront. Once payment is received, students will have access to all course content and can download all materials provided.
It is the responsibility of the student to complete the online training within the specified time frame form making the purchase (6 months for Phlebotomy Training Course, Level 3&4 Anatomy & Physiology and General Practice Training Courses, and 3 months for all other training courses). This timeframe includes attending the practical part of the training course.
If a student fails to complete the training within the specified timeframe and wishes to extend their training course duration, they will be required to pay an extension fee (Please see the section FEES & PAYMENTS). It is important to note that students must complete the online training before attending the in-class part of the training course.
The online training serves as an introduction and a supplement to the full in-class training course and cannot be treated as a standalone qualification. Upon completion of the online training, students must take an exam (Please see the section EXAMS, ASSESMENTS AND ASSIGNMENTS) to obtain a confirmation of an online training completion. However, this document is not considered a qualification and does not entitle students to practice. In other words, students who have completed the online training only are not considered qualified and are not allowed to perform procedures on humans.
BOOKING IN-CLASS TRAINING SESSIONS
Students must complete the online training (if applicable) before attending the in-class training session (Please see the section: TYPES OF TRAINING).
Students must attend the in-class training sessions within the specified timeframe from the date of purchase. This timeframe is 6 months for the Phlebotomy Training Course and 3 months for all other training courses.
All in-class training sessions must be booked in advance using our online booking system, by phone, or email. Availability of in-class training sessions is subject to change, and we recommend booking as early as possible.
Rescheduling or cancellation of in-class training sessions is accepted under certain conditions. Please see the section “Rescheduling, Cancellations, No-shows, and Late Arrivals” for more information.
Upon completion of the in-class training session (unless an examination is required), students receive a certification that attests to their qualification and allows them to perform procedures on humans. Some training courses require an examination to obtain certification. Please see the section “Exams, Assessments, and Assignments” for more information.
RESCHEDULING, CANCELLATIONS, NO-SHOWS, AND LATE ARRIVALS
