Everything you need to know about studying with International Paramedic College

This page summarises the key information you’ll need as an IPC student, including eligibility, course requirements, support options, assessments, and certification.

Before you enrol

Before enrolling, make sure you meet the entry requirements for your chosen course and that you’re legally entitled to study in Australia. Students are responsible for confirming their visa conditions permit study with an Australian RTO.

IPC does not enrol international students on a student visa (subclass 500) because we are not a CRICOS provider. Visa documentation may be requested, and refunds won’t be provided if a student’s visa prevents completion.

If you’d like to talk through course expectations, workload, practical requirements, or Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Skills  (LLND) needs, you can request a Zoom or phone interview with the support team before enrolment.

Enrolment changes, payments and refunds

Any changes to your enrolment must be made in writing via email. Changes aren’t accepted by phone, SMS, or other methods. Refund and transfer conditions are outlined in IPC’s student handbook.

Support, reasonable adjustment, and wellbeing

If you have learning difficulties, disabilities, access limitations, medical conditions, or wellbeing needs that may affect your study, please let us know before enrolment so we can discuss support options and reasonable adjustments.

Assessments, USI, and certificates

All assessment work must be your own original work, and IPC may use plagiarism and AI-detection tools to validate authenticity in line with the Plagiarism and Use of AI Policy.

To receive your certificate, you must provide a valid USI (Unique Student Identifier). If you don’t provide one, your results won’t appear in the national registry.

Certificates or Statements of Attainment are issued within 30 days of competency once course requirements are complete, and fees are paid, and are provided electronically with verification tools.

Course delivery, practical sessions, and locations

Many IPC courses are 100% online and self-paced. Where practical components apply, sessions are held regularly at public venues. Location details and maps are provided at enrolment, and location/venue information may also be accessed via the website location pages. Workplace/on-site training may be available on request.

Policies and forms

The student handbook, documentation and forms support your learning experience and explain how IPC operates.
