Frequently Asked Questions

The duration of the courses varies based on the qualification level, work placement or self-paced learning options available for the course. Most courses on our website offer self-paced learning, meaning you can study when it best suits you, with no strict assignment deadlines or completion dates. You can take up to 2 years to complete a course in some cases.  Some courses also offer lifetime access to the course or extensions if you need more time to complete the course.

Some courses have no prerequisites while others require you to have a grade 12 certificate or be an Australian citizen. The prerequisites vary depending on the course and course provider so it’s best to check the course page on our website to find out the specific requirements for the course you are interested in or talk to a course provider by submitting an enquiry.

Get Course doesn’t have campuses, but the course providers we work with do! Depending on the course you decide to do, will determine where the campuses are or if the education provider offers on-campus study as a study option. Many students prefer to do distance or online learning though – this is a feature available with all of the courses.

On average, people who study from 15-20 hours per week will generally complete their course on time. However, the self-paced learning options that come with many courses these days mean you can study fewer hours per week and still complete the course within the self-paced learning window.

All the courses have different prices due to the qualification levels, the course provider, promotions, and your individual study requirements. Many courses also come with payment plans options for those individuals who can’t afford to pay upfront for the course. We recommend submitting an enquiry through the course page and talking to a course advisor to get the right pricing information and payment plan qualification requirements as it can vary between courses.

We understand not everyone can afford to pay for a course upfront and this is why nearly all the courses and course providers on our website offer flexible payment plan options.

To find out if the course you are interested in has a payment plan option or how much the payment plan is, simply check out the course page and search for the ‘payment options’ section to see the available payment plan options for that course.

Certificate Programs A Certificate course specialises in one specific skill or area. These courses don’t offer a broad overview of a field or industry and are often focused on teaching you applied skills and more specific knowledge about a particular subject. Let’s say, for example, that you’re an accountant with a bachelor’s degree. You want to get into forensic accounting because it’s a hot new part of the industry, but don’t want to go back to school for another degree. A forensic accounting certification will build on the accounting skills you already have, and teach you the need-to-know basics of forensic accounting. Diploma Programs A Diploma course is a longer and more in-depth course. They allow you to study a specific area of specialisation and get a good overview of the field, without having to obtain a higher education (university) degree. These comprehensive programs are a great option for someone who wants to make a career change and get into a new field. If you were interested, for example, in a graphic design career, a graphic design diploma program would consist of multiple modules that would teach you the fundamentals of graphic design, as well as different computer programs and technologies utilised in that industry.

There are different course levels we have access to at Get Course. They are: Certificates, Advanced Certificates, Diplomas, Double or Dual Diplomas, and Advanced  Diplomas.
