Like an airline or a hotel, once the date has passed, we cannot sell the place in that course again, which is why we ask for notice of any changes. We often shut off online bookings as courses fill up, so we lose any potential bookings and potential customers. When we reschedule your place in a course, we then lose another seat that could have been sold or for someone who needs to complete the course quickly for work purposes.

By having a USI, you will be able to access your training records and results (or transcript) whenever you need to.

All Certificates or Statements of Attainments will be issued electronically and have security measures, Replacements will incur an Administration Fee.

Reasonable Adjustment

International Paramedic College understands that not all students can demonstrate competency in the same way; therefore, it may be necessary to adjust the assessment tasks for individual students. This is called Reasonable Adjustment, and it is the process of adjusting or changing the assessment to meet the needs of the student being assessed.

Students with any of the following could expect reasonable adjustment to occur and should speak to their trainers and assessors regarding any changes they feel they need:

  • Physical disabilities
  • Limited language
  • Limited literacy and numeracy skills
  • Limited communication skills
  • Limited learning strategies

The types of adjustments that are made must be within our capacity to provide them, and include:

  • Oral response to questions rather than written
  • Allowing extra time for assessment
  • Using a support person
  • Enlarging reading material

Students will be asked at enrolment to ensure any required adjustments can be addressed. Furthermore, you can discuss any special needs with your assessor, who may be able to make any required, reasonable adjustment to the assessments to meet these needs. Please note the requirements under physical activity below.

Enrolment in training with IPC requires participants to provide details on any learning or physical difficulties which may impact on their training outcomes. This may include any language, literacy, or numeracy or health issues.

Many first aid and CPR courses require students to perform CPR on the floor for a period of time. Please be aware of any requirements of your training course.

Reasonable Assessment may include access to paper-based assessments for those who are unable to complete the online assessment tasks.

Reasonable adjustment does not include individual instruction in our group/class based -courses. Talk to the office if a quote for individual instruction is required.

Physical Requirements

If you suffer an allergy to latex products, please advise us. Practical activities involve training scenarios conducted at floor level and contact with other students/instructors. Please wear suitable clothing CPR is a rigorous physical activity requiring you to compress the chest of a manikin downwards about a third of the chest depth continuously at 100 to 120 times a minute for a continuous period of 2 minutes. This requires a level of endurance, strength, and fitness appropriate to this task. If you have current physical injuries, medical problems or limitations, please discuss this with your trainer. You must don’t injure yourself or exacerbate an existing condition in training.

Submission of Assessments

If courses have assessment timetables, you will be required to submit assessments on time as per the Assessment Schedule for your course. Extensions to assessment deadlines must be requested in writing to your assessor, and it is at their discretion if extra time will be allowed.

Authenticity of work

When you submit a written assignment for assessment, you will have to sign a statement that it is all your work and has not been copied from other sources.
