How is the Course Delivered?
No Online Assessment Required
All practical skills training and assessment for the HLTWHS005 Conduct manual tasks safely course are completed in the 4-hour face-to-face training session.
Prior to this, you will need to work through the pre-reading material for the course (which can be downloaded from your online student portal). This material can be worked through at your own pace and in your own time, provided it’s completed before your in-person training session. This material will be assumed knowledge for the course, and there’ll be a pre-course quiz at the beginning of your training seminar to see what you’ve learned.
The time required to complete the pre-reading will vary, depending on the student. However, it’s generally wise to allow at least half a day to work through the material to be sure of finishing in time for your training.

- Practical Demonstrations: Simulated scenarios/Role playing
