Workplace training for employers — common questions
Can we enrol a whole team at once?
Yes. We work with employers right across Australia to upskill entire laboratory teams in one program. We handle enrolment, delivery and assessment, and tailor the elective units to suit the roles and equipment on your site, so the training is relevant for every team member.
How is the training delivered for our staff?
We specialise in workplace-based training — your staff study around the real work they do in your laboratory, with no time away at a campus. Delivery is built around your operations and procedures, so it fits the way your lab actually works while keeping downtime to a minimum.
Is government funding available for employers?
Government funding may be available for eligible employers and staff in ACT, TAS & SA for our laboratory qualifications. See our government-funded laboratory courses guide, or contact us to check your eligibility.
Can RPL fast-track our experienced technicians?
Yes. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) turns the skills your experienced technicians already have into a formal, nationally recognised qualification — often faster and with less coursework than a full enrolment. It is an efficient way to credential a team that is already doing the work.
