Important Information for Clients
Student numbers: If you have more participants attending than what is outlined in your confirmation email. Please let your Allens Training Pty Ltd contact know immediately.
Room set up: If training is being delivered at your premises, please ensure that the room is large enough to host the number of participants booked into the course. This means making sure there are enough seats and tables available and that the space is large enough to accommodate the practical components of training (for courses where this is required). Other equipment such as a projector or other audio-visual equipment (i.e. TV) and whiteboard is preferable.
The room must also ensure social distancing measures are met and we will discuss this with you at the time of booking.
Timeframes: Course start and finish times will be agreed with you, and all participants must stay for the duration of the course. It is important that course participants arrive on time and stay till the end of the course. For full face-to-face courses, participants that arrive more than 15 minutes after the course has started or leave before the end of the course will not be issued a statement of attainment.
For the online with practical assessment courses, participants must be on time as the session is short and cannot account for participants arriving late.
After hours contact: Allens Training Pty Ltd operating hours are Monday-Friday from 7:30am – 4:30pm (AEST). If you need to contact us urgently outside of these hours, please call – 07 5390 5552, or email afterhours@allenstraining.com.au

Important Information for Course Participants
Please ensure the below information is forwarded to each participant of the training before they attend. This ensures that they are prepared for the training session and know what to expect on the day.
Course Timeframes: Courses are booked with set start and finish times. Participants who arrive late to the training course, or are required to leave before the set finish time, will be unable to participate in the training. If a participant believes that you are unable to attend the training for the duration of the course, please ensure you contact Allens Training Pty Ltd to discuss options.
Pre-course study: If the course includes pre-course study this will be provided to each participant online after they have enrolled. This must be completed.
For participants completing an ‘online with practical assessment’ delivery mode course, they must complete the online learning before attending your short practical assessment.
Unique Student Identifier: Any participant without a USI will not be eligible to receive a statement of attainment.
The Federal Government requires all participants enrolled in accredited training to hold a Unique Student Identifier (USI) before any certification being issued by the RTO. The USI account is free to activate and use. For employment and study purposes, the USI account will record all your accredited training from 1 January 2015. To obtain a USI please visit http://www.usi.gov.au.
Proof of identity: Course participants will need to provide Identification on the day of the course. Identification can include a driver’s licence, passport or Medicare card.
Course and participant requirements: There are often physical requirements for students when undertaking accredited training. For example, all first aid training courses have contained within the Training Package a requirement that CPR must be demonstrated on the floor for a set period. There can be no exceptions to these Australian Government requirements, which are clearly written into the Training Package. Therefore, students who are unable to satisfy the physical requirements of the course cannot be deemed competent or issued with a statement of attainment, even if the qualification is a necessary part of their employment conditions.
We recognise that all students are individuals and may have different learning needs. Prior to the course date, please notify Allens Training Pty Ltd if you may have a barrier to learning, so our trainer can adjust the training appropriately to meet your needs.
