You will work through a mix of: 

• digital workbooks 

• short written and verbal tasks 

• practical activities that build workplace‑ready skills 

• independent study such as reading, practice exercises and reflection tasks 

This flexible approach allows you to learn in a way that suits your needs while building the essential skills required for further training and employment. 

Trainer Support 

We provide flexible and responsive trainer support to ensure every learner feels confident and supported throughout their Certificate II in Skills for Work and Vocational Pathways (FSK20119) journey. 

In‑School Trainer Support 

Our trainers can come directly to your school or organisation to deliver face‑to‑face learning sessions.

Learners complete their coursework digitally while receiving regular check‑ins, feedback and guidance from our trainers. This allows for flexible scheduling while ensuring students remain supported by qualified educators. 

Flexible, Case‑by‑Case Delivery 

We understand that every school, organisation and young person is unique. Our training approach is highly flexible and can be customised based on availability, learning needs, group size and preferred delivery style. Whether onsite, online or a combination of both, we work closely with educators and support staff to design a model that works best for your setting. 

Learners will complete a variety of assessments designed to build and demonstrate essential foundation skills for work and further training.
