I'm enrolled in both Cert III and IV and the requirement that I must finish 2 units in the first month in order to not incur a enrollment fee got me confused. I have already finished the first 2 units of Certificate IV (enrollment of cert IV finished before III). Do I also have to finish the first 2 units of Certificate III in the first month as well?

Pretty sure you'd have to complete 2 units of the Cert III as well, let taiga confirm.

Yup

I got the call from Tim today, such a nice guy
Looks like ill be doing cert IV first then start cert III next month
If i were to put in a couple of hours into this each day i shuold be able to finish the entire thing within a few weeks?

[liuetenant]

once we receive a confirmation call from the team at talent2 (that is, a second call after tim) how long do we have to wait until the course arrives by email?

[taiga]

Some people went from call to starting course in less than two days, so you should hope for that

[MeLucky]

I know the expected early completion time for the course is 4 months, but we can finish the course earlier if we wish right?

[taiga]

Yeah but you won't receive your certificate etc until the 4 months are over I believe.

Oh, that sucks
I'm just eager to have the qualification lol

[taiga]

You can still chuck it on your resume saying you're currently studying it.

Tim also told me you can contact your tutor and they can give you a temporary certificate (in case you need it for applying for jobs etc)

Taiga, it's not a problem for me because I intend to see the course through, but it may affect those who are enrolling to see what it's like, but plan on only completing two units if they decide it's not for them. You suggest they won't be charged so long as they do the two units before dropping out, but the enrolment pack states that both the two units must be completed in the first month, and that the course must be fully completed in the long term in order to retain the scholarship and avoid a fee.

Is there a catch?
There is no catch, however you must be informed that the scholarship that Upskill awards applies if and only if you complete the first two units of the course in the first month (roughly 2-4 hours of work). If you can’t complete those units, you will be charged a one-time fee of $187.50 for the course, which is the value of the scholarship provided by Upskill.

To meet the requirements of the scholarship you must:

• complete 2 units within 30 days of receiving your enrolment details in either a Certificate III/IV level
  course or 1 unit within the first 6 weeks of enrolling into a Diploma level course,
• complete the qualification as per the signed Training Plan, and
• fit one or more fee exemption categories listed below.

If you fail to meet the above requirements you’ll be invoiced the applicable enrolment fee to your
course level; $187.50 for either Certificate III/IV level, $375 for Diploma level. This will become
immediately payable.

Thank you for alerting me to this requirement, it has been added to the main post.

Is there possibly any other way to advertise this program on the forum? The random ads in every thread are getting a bit annoying..

I didnt get to ask him what he majored in, but he told me he did Commerce at Melbourne. How did he get his job? :S
