By not completing all online learning prior to attending the face to face course student’s may struggle to complete the practical assessments to the level required for an outcome of competent.
Any student who does not successfully complete the online learning prior to the face to face course does so at their own risk. If a student has not completed the online learning and fails to achieve an outcome of satisfactory for two or more practical assessments, the student will be deemed not yet competent and will be required to attend an additional face to face training session. This will incur additional course fees.

Any student having difficulty completing the online learning is encouraged to contact SMA for additional support and resources.
