Course Information

Timeframes

When starting any Course, the most common question is always “how long will it take?”.  These Courses are self-guided meaning that you can work on them in your own time, and at your own pace.  

We expect that students will easily be able to complete each Course within six to eight weeks, including the assessments. Many students will be able to work at a faster pace.  

We understand that balancing work/life/study can be stressful so talk to your Course Facilitator if you need some time out from your Course

‍

Assessment

Workplace Tools Courses usually have only one assessed task. This is at the end of the Course. There are a few quizzes and thinking exercises but they are not assessed. Assessment is around your own personal experience, thoughts and ideas and therefore there is not just one correct answer. Assessment is usually in a written format but if you would prefer to do this by phone or video your Facilitator can arrange this.

Course Fees

The full Course fee of $50.00 plus GST must be paid on acceptance of enrolment into your selected Workplace Tools Course. If you are a Federation Member these are free Courses.

Refunds

If a student withdraws from a Course after they have confirmed their enrolment and paid the Course fee, the student may:

  • Substitute a person. The person must be from the same workplace and a similar background or position within the organisation.
  • Request a refund up to 7 days prior to commencing the Course, less 10% administration fee.

No refunds will be given after a student has commenced the Course. If there are exceptional circumstances students can apply for an extension to complete the Course at a later date.

Engagement Skills

Engagement Skills

In this Course we learn about how we can engage with disabled people and their families in ways that are respectful and thoughtful. We believe that these courses are relevant for people working in Disability Information and Advisory Services as enquiries become more complex and facilitation skills are necessary. The Course can also be helpful for others working with disabled people and whānau.
