Part time (night classes): This study option involves attending classes where an ACCCO Trainer leads students through the course or unit. ACCCO has training rooms in Brisbane and regional areas. Students wanting to complete some units only though classroom study should consult our webpage to find out when the class is scheduled.
External: In this mode, students study their course at home at a time convenient to them. Students receive a booklet with all the required learning, activities and assessment. All external students have an ACCCO Trainer who is in regular contact with them and are available by phone and/or email for questions and support.
Recognition: This option recognises student’s prior experience and learning. Students work through a booklet which allows them to demonstrate their knowledge and skills without completing additional learning. Students are assessed on these skills and knowledge through the Recognition process.
