All support is provided by IPS. You can book in coaching calls when you need them as well as send through support requests to be answered by our Learning Coaches.
I WORK FULL TIME, CAN I ACCESS MY COACH AFTER HOURS?
Our coaches work late on selected nights and are happy to book in after-hours calls. We have students across all time zones, so our Learning Coaches are conscious of accounting for time differences.
HOW LONG DOES THE COURSE TAKE?
Our courses are self-paced, meaning you can study around your lifestyle. No strict deadlines. No inflexible classes to work around. No pressure to work on someone else’s schedule. Depending on the time you commit and your learning style, studying part-time you could see you complete the course in approximately 20 months.
HOW IS THE COURSE DELIVERED?
The course is delivered 100% online through our student portal. You’ll complete written activities and practical assessment tasks to demonstrate what you’ve learned throughout the unit. You will have access to a Learning Coach for any questions or clarifications you may need. You will also have access to webinars from our CEO and Learning Coaches.
WHAT ARE THE ASSESSMENTS?
There are no exams for the course. All assessments involve practical and work-ready applications, based on your workplace or provided case studies. For example, developing work-ready strategies and action plans, or even face-to-face video assessments.
WHEN CAN I START?
We have no restrictive intake periods, so you can start as soon as we’ve processed your course registration and official enrolment form. This is typically done in as little as two business days. We also have options to start your payment plan while delaying your course commencement date until you’re ready to begin studying within three months.
