• 120 hours of work placement is mandatory for this course and is undertaken upon 75% completion of course. Placement will be organised for the student. The following is required for work placement:
– maintenance of full COVID-19 vaccinations
– NDIS Worker Screening Check
– Completion of a Criminal History Check (yellow card) and application for a Blue Card (working with children check). Your current AFP documentation (police check) must be no older than 3 months prior to the start of study.
What seemed to make GeSS standout here was that they organise the actual placement training for me, it is not left to me to find it. Without this placement I would not complete the course, The fact its arranged for me, was a plus.
I looked at several educational programs that provide this type of training and chose GeSS for several reasons. First, the campus is located in Southport and close to my home. Second, the campus has up to date classrooms conducive to learning. Thirdly, up to date new equipment in the lab to learn how to safely move patients.
