How long it takes to complete the course depends on your individual circumstances and how you elect to study.
Please book a call, and we can discuss your options.
The course involves 15 units and a total of 34 assessments.
If you undertake our face-to-face in person course or virtual classroom, we allocate time in the course to complete the assessments, so there is no “homework”.
Yes, contact us to discuss recognition of prior learning.
After we have received your request for RPL, ICETS will email a pack which is made up of two separate documents. The first document details the competency requirements for every unit in the course package. The second document is the RPL application form. The application form is to be completed by the applicant addressing the requirements detailed in the form including evidence of competency for the unit/s you are applying for. The application form along with all indexed evidence is emailed back to ICETS for evaluation. Payment for an RPL application does not guarantee the application will be successful.
Applicants will have up to three attempts to prove competency.
From the commencement of the course, you have 12 months to complete the Certificate IV in Government Investigations. Enrolment extensions cost $250 for three months.
