ACCCO prides itself on providing individual support to students by providing them with their own personal trainer who guides them through their course. In addition to this, ACCCO actively seeks new information to keep students up to date with current industry requirements and provides this information to students on a regular basis through one-on-one training, our webpage and also through ACCCO newsletter 'Learning Links'.

Classes

ACCCO holds classes for each of the units in the Certificate III, Diploma and Advanced Diploma of Children's Services courses. All classes are facilitated by a qualified, experienced Trainer with a class of no more than 16 students. ACCCO students can complete their entire course by attending classes or external students can attend any number of classes to support and extend their study. More Info

Appeals Process

ACCCO has a fair and equitable process for dealing with complaints and appeals (including Academic appeals, meaning if the student disagrees with the Assessor's results) and strives to deal with issues as soon as they emerge, in order to avoid futher disruption or the need for formal complaint. In the event that complaints cannot be resolved internally, ACCCO will advise the student/trainee/apprentice of the appropriate legal body where they can seek further assistance. If participants have a complaint with any aspect of their training, they are encouraged to speak immediately to their Trainer to resolve the issue.
If the participant is not satisfied that the issue has been resolved, they may wish to contact or write a letter to the Principal, setting out in detail the issues of concern. This may lead to occasions where an industry-training representative may be invited to act as an objective party in order to negotiate a satisfactory resolution.
If the matter is still not resolved, participants are advised they may take their complaint through legal avenues, the Anti-discrimination Board, Consumer Affairs or other bodies as appropriate.
Participants have a maximum period of one week in which they can appeal against their result or lodge a complaint.
Within the College
Complaints within the College should proceed as follows:
  • The Trainer
  • Principal
  • Review Committee
  • And, if you still feel the issue is not resolved - (DET) Dept of Employment and Training (telephone numbers can be found at the end of this section)
If the Complaint falls out of the legal capabilities of our Institute then the complaint will be forwarded to the appropriate government body.
Within the Service
Complaints within the Centre/Service should proceed as follows:
  • Group Leader (if complaint is with an Assistant)
  • Director
  • Training Coordinator
