  All our short courses are designed to be accessible and practical. Participants are required to have:

  Basic English proficiency – enough to read, understand, and follow written instructions.

  Basic numeracy – the ability to perform simple calculations relevant to the course activities.

  Minimal digital skills – as all our courses are paper-based and do not involve online training.

• USI Requirements

  USI (Unique Student Identifier) Requirements

  All participants enrolling in our short courses are required to have a USI. The USI is a national identifier that allows your training records to be securely stored and accessed online.
