We provide nationally accredited training, verification of competencies and consultancy services.

From 1 January 2015, all students studying nationally recognised training in Australia are required to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). A USI provides students online access to their training records and results (transcripts) through their free online USI account.

A USI is required for new and continuing students undertaking nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses to receive their statements of attainment or qualifications. A USI can be obtained at no cost to students and your USI stays with you for life.
You can apply for a USI via the Australian Government Department of Industry Alternatively, with your permission, Training U can obtain your USI on your behalf.

Do I need any prior knowledge to do this course?

You’ll need to be able to read and understand organisation policies, medication requirements and individual care plans. There’s no formal qualification prerequisite.

Can this course be delivered at our workplace?

Yes. This course runs face to face at our Rockingham facility or at your workplace on request.

How long does the course take, and what do I get at the end?

This is a 1.5-day, face-to-face course. On successful completion, you’ll receive a Statement of Attainment, issued within 30 calendar days as required under the RTO Standards.

Is this course nationally accredited?

Yes. HLTHPS006 Assist Clients with Medication is a nationally recognised unit of competency, delivered under Training U’s RTO registration, 52608.

What's the difference between this and the non-accredited Clinical Care / Medication Competency workshop?

The two options are pitched at different levels of depth and compliance requirement:

  • The accredited course is more detailed and leads to a nationally recognised unit. It’s the option required by workplaces that specifically stipulate the accredited unit, for example where an employer, funding body, or regulator requires formal national accreditation as a condition of the role.
  • The non-accredited Clinical Care / Medication Competency workshop is shorter and more streamlined. It still meets workplace requirements for organisations that don’t mandate the national unit, making it a faster, lower-cost option where formal accreditation isn’t a condition of employment.

In short: if your employer requires the nationally recognised qualification by name, go with the accredited course. If they just need staff competent and signed off, the non-accredited workshop covers that in less time.
