This part-time course includes both online and in-person training at the training centre. The online portion covers theoretical learning that must be completed before attending the centre, reducing the time required on-site. The same content is delivered as in a physical classroom, with additional support provided for any areas of uncertainty. The combination of theoretical and practical learning ensures a thorough understanding of each module topic.
