School Delivery Models

We can work with schools in different capacities:

1. RTO Delivery: We will be responsible for the delivery and assessment of all course components with no administrative or teaching burdens placed on school staff. This may include:
   • Self-Paced Online delivery: students complete the course independent from their school studies. This may be done in their own time or in spares or built into the student’s timetable with a dedicated line on their timetable or selected incursion days.
   • On-site delivery: Our trainers will attend the school with all equipment and materials required to run the course. Schedules and timeframes will be negotiated with the school – for example 1 day per week or as suited for the curriculum timetable.
2. Partnering/auspice arrangement: The school can utilise its own teaching staff to deliver our qualifications:
   • We provide our quality course resources and assessments.
   • We host the program in our highly acclaimed eLearning system.
   • We provide ongoing training and support for the school’s nominated Trainer (who must be appropriately qualified and hold a TAE qualification).
   • We manage the enrolment process, compliance, reporting and certificate issue.
3. Shared Delivery: The school and RTO share delivery and assessment responsibilities. For example, Adapt Education may deliver key sessions on campus and be responsible for all assessment marking to reduce the burden on school staff however an approved “in-house” teacher may be responsible for day-to-day delivery and support.

We Love Our Students and They Love Us!

I have been so grateful for the continuous support given to our students. The Trainer was such a positive influence on them and encouraged them to grow in confidence and independence. I have been impressed with the efficiency of the administration staff and how direct and easy communication has been. I highly recommend, for peace of mind and successful results that others entrust their students to Adapt Education.

How did the Cert III in Business help Elijah kick goals?

Thank you to Adapt Education for helping me complete my Certificate III in Business. They were truly wonderful to deal with and always very helpful when needed. The course content is easy to navigate and understand. I would also like to thank my wonderful teacher who helped and encouraged me throughout. I will be recommending Adapt Education to everyone as I believe it is one of the best course providers in Australia.  You guys are amazing!
