Program of study
Australian Management & Safety Training would normally conduct training and assessment at the client's premises in a block release training program.
Experience has shown better student results when the training and assessment program is delivered over a period of six (6) months, broken into 6 x separate training blocks, however, should you require a tailored training program to suit your specific needs please contact our office to discuss.
An AMAST trainer and assessor will attend the workplace for up to five (5) days every four (4) weeks across the duration of the training program. The student will be required to study and complete tasks during the time between workplace visits.
Students must be prepared to be engaged with Australian Management & Safety Training for the 6 months and be willing to contribute their own time, effort and resources, and be genuinely committed to working toward a satisfactory outcome.
