Courtenell’s OHS Risk Management Training will give you 5 of those
units.
You will need to contact another RTO to complete the remaining 5 units.
You can find RTO’s who can assist you with these 5 units on www.ntis.gov.au
What does the training involve?
This training, commonly referred to as “workplace learning”
involves you studying a chapter of your training materials and then completing
a practical activity in your workplace based on what you have just learned.
As you complete each activity you mail a copy into Courtenell to be marked.
You can then just continue on reading the next chapter. Courtenell will
advise you of the result of your practical activities within 2 weeks of
receiving each one in the mail. There are 5 practical activities in this
training.
If at any point you have a question regarding the training, the training
material, the practical activities or anything else you can contact our
friendly staff at Courtenell on 02 9552 2380.
What is involved in the practical activities?
The practical activities cover those things in your workplace that are
or should be done to prevent accidents, for example:
- Finding hazards and assessing the risks
- Doing an accident investigation
- Reporting to management with your recommendations on how to control
hazards
- Consulting with members of your workplace on OHS matters
At the end of the first chapter in the workbook you are given detailed
information about the practical work requirements.
How long will it take to complete the training?
The training is done at your own pace with telephone and email support
from friendly and experienced Courtenell staff. You set the completion
date for each assignment and we help you to achieve it.
Are there any other options for completing the training?
Yes!
Attend a non accredited 2 day face to face OHS Risk Management Course
before you start the workplace learning (accredited training). This option
would suit those who feel they would benefit from being introduced to
OHS Risk Management in a face to face environment before doing the accredited
training.
What is Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) and how do I know if I
am eligible?
RPL is a process whereby you match your existing knowledge and skills
(what you already know and can do) to the requirements in each unit of
the training.
If you can present evidence that clearly demonstrates your competency
in some or all of the requirements, you may be given full or partial credit
for the training.
Existing knowledge and skills may come from the following:
- Through formal education and training institutions.
- Work experience (including information and on-the-job).
- Life experience.
We can send you out an RPL pack which covers everything you need to know
and do in order to obtain recognition for your prior learning.
How do I enroll in the training?
To enroll in this training you will need to fax or mail into Courtenell
a completed enrolment form with your payment, or payment details attached.

NOTE: We accept all major credit cards except Diners Card. There is a
4.5% surcharge for using AMEX and a 1.75% surcharge for all other cards.
What happens once my enrolment has been processed?
Once your enrolment and payment has been processed, Courtenell will send
you a workbook which contains all the information you will need in order
to complete the training and satisfy the practical work requirements.
You can opt to receive the workbook in the following ways:
- Via an email attachment

We will call you within a week of receiving the workbook to see if you
have any questions and to help you set your target dates for completion.
