Great Parent Question about the Easter Holiday Course

by Tony Attridge -

HI All,

I just received this fantastic question from a parent of an elite athlete doing our courses.  So I thought I would share the question and the response. 

Q: Is this Easter Holiday Course intensive geared towards those who are struggling to get the work done at other times?  

A: Yes this intensive is geared towards those who have other commitments during school times, especially those who are elite athletes or are high performers in other areas at school or work. This intensive will allow them to complete all of the theory (provided they participate in the sessions) and will then free up time during the school year for other sporting and/or academic endeavours with just the practical remaining to be done at school. The student can even do half of the course in this Easter Holiday Course block and the balance in the June/July block if the wish.  They will just need to register for which days they wish to attend in this Easter one.  If it was me I would complete it all in one hit over the first one though. They can sit in the comfort of their home or attend in person at North Lakes. Personally I like the idea of not having to travel so doing it at home via our BBB system would be the ideal scenario. 

Hop on here Easter Holiday Course and register for the Easter Holiday Course and get a cracking start on the course. 

Keep the questions coming in as we are here to serve you and to help you complete the course in a timely and efficient manner. 

Regards

Tony

EASTER Course - 15 Places Remaining and Recap

by Tony Attridge -
Hi Everyone

Welcome to March 2024.

 A quick recap of things you should be aware of.

1. Our EASTER School Holiday course is filling up fast and only has 15 places left.
That is unless you wish to attend in person at North Lakes where there are 8 seats available still.

So, if you would like to complete your Certificate II in Sport and Recreation and the Certificate II in Sport Coaching theory and only have the practicals to worry about while at school, I would suggest you get in quick.

Once these places are taken you will be waiting for the June/July holiday option. The link to register is: Easter Holiday Course

This course will be starting on the Monday the 8th of April and concluding on Friday the 12th.

 2. I have just returned from an International Education Conference in Dubai where I am proud to announce that I was awarded The Outstanding Leadership Award in the Fields of Education and Training.

Now these awards are not achieved by one person alone hence I would also like to thank our amazing team at The College of Health and Fitness as well as my wife and family for their support and without them this award would not have been possible.

3. Please remember that we have our online BBB tutorials every Wednesday night for you to access with one of our incredible trainers who will be there to assist you in answering questions or covering topics that you are uncertain of. There is no need to book just jump online at the designated time and ask away. They will be only too happy to help.


4. The auto marking for short answers is still being worked on at the moment. So please submit and wait for a trainer to assess those answer before attempting a re-answer. If you notice that you have a multiple choice question or a matching question incorrect you may go in and have another attempt at those questions. It is just the questions where you are inputting your own answers that we are having some minor issues with at the moment. While waiting for these to be marked please move onto the next section and keep working away.

5. If you have not booked your school in for your First Aid course or Practical Assessments please do so as soon as you can so you may have a better chance at obtaining your preferred assessment date. To do so please call Penny at TCOHAF.

If you have any questions, please contact The College directly on 07 3385 0195.
