ENROLLING AT CAREERS AUSTRALIA
Enrolment into courses at Careers Australia is to be completed prior to the commencement
date of the course and a non-refundable deposit/enrolment fee must be paid to secure your
enrolment. You will be notified of enrolment details specific to your course upon receipt of
your deposit/enrolment fee being made.
Careers Australia does not accept students who have not enrolled prior to commencement
of classes.
Orientation Day embraces an overview of the program, administration procedures, basic
housekeeping issues and introductions to staff, as well as an opportunity for you to meet your
fellow students.
It is expected that for every hour of class contact time you will need to complete a minimum
of one to two hours self study time in order to meet the program requirements. (13 hours
class per week would require approximately an additional 13 hrs per week self-study time).
Careers Australia facilities operate between 7.30am and 5pm Monday to Friday.
