Inspired Learning Concepts delivers this course using a blended delivery structure. What this means is that the course is a combination of face-to-face training and assessment and other activities. The other activities may include projects, research, group work tasks and eLearning. This delivery methodology is recognised by many as being highly effective. It gives you the benefit of a trainer whom you see regularly and a group of others with whom you are studying along with the flexibility of working your way and dedicating the amount of time you need to your studies. The Certificate III in Business is delivered over the space of twelve training months, plus holidays. If you are eligible for credit transfer or recognition of prior learning, you will gain advanced standing and this duration may be reduced. Your attendance at class will require a commitment of several hours per week. Additionally, you will be required to commit a significant amount of time outside class to your studies. The specific amount of time you will require depends on your circumstances, prior experience and personal characteristics. On average, we expect that you will require an addition 10 hours per week to successfully complete your studies. To accommodate the widest possible range of students, we have a variety of timetables available for this course. You should ensure that a timetable which suits your personal circumstances is available prior to lodging your application for enrolment.
