• Students must undertake a “Pre-Training Review” prior to determine suitable for the course
• Students must be over 18 years of age to conduct practical work placement.
• Police checks are required prior to commencing practical placement which we will organise on our students’ behalf. If a student has a Disclosable Court Outcome registered against their name, we are unable to assist with placement as industry will not accept students without a clear record.

Practical Placement

Practical placement of 120 hours is a mandatory requirement of this course. All Health Training will organise on our students behalf.

• The hours of work required within hospitals is usually in two shifts, the morning shift is from 7:00am - 3:00pm which is the preferred shift for our students to attend.
• All providers request students to undertake placement in one block of time and as such, All Health Training suggests if you are already working you consider discussing and organising work and/or family care arrangements prior to undertaking practical placement to enable you to undertake these duties during the week.
• Practical placement will be commenced during the course and must be completed within 1 month after the course conclusion. Placement is not available during the months of December & January due to restrictions with employers.
• Students will be required to wear an All Health Training polo shirt and name badge (both provided) on placement. In addition, long black pants & black closed in, non-slip shoes will be required which students will either need to provide or purchase at their own cost.
• Students may be asked to wear an N95 face mask or a surgical face mask whilst on placement
• Students may be asked for a negative Covid test prior to attending placement – this may be a RAT or PCR testing. This will depend on the host employer's policies and procedures, and will be communicated to each student as placement is coordinated.
