We have had 3 team members complete their study with Community College Gippsland (CCG). Previous to working with CCG we had used a few other training providers, but our experience was that they were less hands-on and involved with our trainees and their communication was poor. CCG have been great at staying in touch with our trainees, coming into our workplace to conduct training, and ensuring that our relevant department leader knows how our team member is progressing through their course. I would recommend CCG to any business putting on a trainee.
At least six training sessions are in your workplace during the year. Your trainer will give you a detailed learning plan and resources for each unit to provide you with structured learning to continue with between their visits.
You may access your trainer by phone, email and online for support during business hours. Workplace visits in consultation with your employer. We expect approximately 2 hours per week of study outside the scheduled training time.
