Here are some of our frequently asked questions. If you can’t find an answer to a question you have, feel free to contact our friendly team.
Where is ASC Located?

We are located at Level 2, 185 Victoria Square.

Are students supported?

Participants are supported in their learning by qualified and experienced facilitators and helpful and responsive office administration staff. We strive to ensure every participant’s learning experience is memorable, rewarding and relevant.

Learning Support Coordinator 

 We understand people do not learn in the same way, and for some there may be factors that present additional challenges to learning. These may include:

  • Physical impairment (wheelchair mobility; back, hand and shoulder  injuries that make writing/sitting difficult)
  • Hearing impairment
  • Learning difficulties such as dyslexia, learning retention, reading, writing or numeracy skills
  • Visual impairment
  • Language (English as a second language)

Over the past 23 years of providing training and development services we have worked successfully with a number of learners who have required additional assistance, including support in each of the areas mentioned above.

To determine the appropriate support for our learners and to ensure they are not disadvantaged, we ask them complete an online language, literacy and numeracy skills assessment prior to enrolment. This enables us to direct learners who may need additional assistance to appropriate resources.

In the first instance, please contact our Learning Support Coordinator, Kirsty Henderson (Ph. 8410 2627) if you have any questions. All conversations are treated in the strictest confidence.

Do you have online learning options?

We have a growing suite of online learning courses and a team dedicated to creating high quality learner centred products. Our courses are designed to be accessed by individuals 24/7. We also build and customise programs for corporate clients to meet their business needs.

Is there flexibility in the courses?

We provide training via face-face workshops, online courses and blends of these. We also provide some distance learning options.

Do you offer Government Funding & incentives?

Our staff keep abreast of funding opportunities, both at state and federal level. Contact us to find out about the most current opportunities to access funding for individuals and organisations.

What’s an HSR ID / SAFEWORK NUMBER?

When you are elected as a Health & Safety Rep and book into a HSR course, you will need to be allocated a ID number by SafeWork SA. Your employer will need to visit this link: www.safework.sa.gov.au/licence/home or ring SafeWork SA Help Centre on 1300 365 255. Only the employer will be able to access this number from SafeWork. We need your HSR ID Number prior to you attending training.

What is Recognition of Prior Learning?

RPL is an assessment-only process that assesses the competency of an individual—competency which may have been acquired through formal, non-formal and/or informal learning. This assessment seeks to determine the extent to which an individual meets the requirements specified in training packages or VET accredited courses.

Will I get RPL towards the CIV WHS if I’ve completed my HSR training?

When you have completed HSR Level 3, you would need a letter from a manager to verify that you participate in communication meetings, workplace  inspections and/or risk evaluations and risk control planning. You will then be able to apply for RPL in the following units from the Certificate IV in WHS:

BSBWHS412Assist with workplace compliance with WHS laws
BSBWHS413Contribute to implemention and maintenance of WHS consultation and participation processes
BSBWHS504Manage WHS risks

If you hold the Certificate IV in Training & Assessment, you can also apply for RPL in the unit:  BSBCMM401 Make a Presentation.

If you write complex reports at work, a letter from your manager verifying what reports and how often, you can apply for RPL in the unit:  BSBWRT411 Write complex documents.

Can I make part payments?

We now offer 2 options to make part payments towards your invoice:

  • Option 1:  Interest free from your nominated bank account – We will send you a link to enter your details through GoCardless.  This is a simple process that only takes a few steps to set up and link the bank account you choose to have your part payments deducted from.
  • Option 2:  Credit Card part payments – fees apply.  We will collect your Credit Card details and set up part payments via eWay.  Fees vary for Visa and Mastercard.

All payments will be deducted on the dates agreed with ASC Training prior to setting up one of these 2 options.

Can you invoice my employer?

Yes, we can send an invoice to your employer.  We just need you to enter their details when you register online.

Can I receive RPL towards my Health & Safety Representative training?

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is the process where students can show competency through prior training or experience.

RPL is not applicable to HSR training and the full course must be attended to be achieve the certificate.

What is our COVID-19 Vaccination Policy?

ASC Training & Development will require two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine for anyone attending our business premise. In line with the growing number of prominent South Australian event venues requiring that all attendees are double vaccinated against COVID-19, we have taken the same position for our own workplace. The requirement to be double vaccinated to be on-site includes our team, facilitators, and the public.

From Monday 29 November 2021, any attendees at an ASC Training event, training program, meeting, information or networking session, either at onsite or at any external location, must have had two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Attendees with a SA Health approved medical exemption will be able to attend any of our offerings by producing a negative COVID-19 test valid for 72 hours.

We take our responsibility under the Work Health Safety Act very seriously. We have a clear obligation and duty of care to our team and clients. Whilst we respect the rights of the individual to choose and value all our team, our unvaccinated team members will be working from home and going about their important business of supporting our clients online.

We acknowledge this is a dynamic situation and we will be vigilant in updating this policy as the situation changes.
