Healthy Habits
The AH&MRC has a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to increase the skills of our Membership’s workforce. Our RTO courses are Nationally Accredited and AHPRA Accredited.
The AH&MRC RTO is funded by the Government at multiple levels to subsidise for course fees and increase access to educational opportunities. Course fees vary due to the cost of delivery, as well as the level of subsidies available for certain qualifications via Government initiatives. Short Courses offered may not have any subsidies available due to the length and accreditation level of the course. To learn more about NSW Government subsidies visit the Smart and Skilled website.
A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a reference number/letter combination created for you that stays with you throughout your educational life to securely maintain a record of your training attainment. A USI number is a national requirement for all students to obtain prior to enrolling in tertiary education or training courses.
When you have determined the right course for you, as part of the enrollment process, you are required to undertake an initial skills assessment. This will include a short phone interview, conducted by the AH&MRC RTO to establish your knowledge and experience of the industry you are training to gain employment in, as well as a Language Literacy and Numeracy level. The screening process helps us understand any additional assistance you may need prior to commencing your training.
In order to enrol to study at the AH&MRC RTO, candidates will need to complete an enrolment form and consent form. The AH&MRC RTO will then apply for Smart and Skilled funding on the candidate’s behalf. Once we receive a quote for subsidy we will await the candidate’s approval of the quote before processing it to State Training.
