Entry requirements

Applicants are assessed at pre-enrolment for academic suitability criteria as documented in the Assessment Policy and Procedure applicable to their enrolment. Where concerns are raised, suitability is discussed with the Head of the Institute who will determine if the applicant can proceed with enrolment or if a core skills assessment is required.

Industry recommendation

  • Provide CPR is recommended refresher every (1)year
  • Provide First Aid is recommended every three (3) years

Applicants are assessed at pre-enrolment for academic suitability criteria as documented in the Assessment Policy and Procedure applicable to their enrolment.

Where concerns are raised, suitability is discussed with the Head of the Institute who will determine if the applicant can proceed with enrolment or if a core skills  LLN assessment is required.

 

Students who indicate a learning disability or are observed during pre-enrolment as unable to communicate clearly will also be referred to a core skills assessment. The results from this assessment will guide the Institute as to whether external LLN assistance, additional support or other reasonable adjustments are required

Compression and ventilation skills must be demonstrated on resuscitation manikins following ARC guidelines for the purpose of assessment of CPR procedures.

Assessment must ensure access to:

  • adult and infant resuscitation manikins following ARC guidelines for the purpose of assessment of CPR procedures
  • adrenaline auto-injector training device
  • AED training devices

Why Study with MMISS

MMISS has highly comprehensive courses and are renown in the industry as one of the highest standards of fitness trainers in Australia.

MMISS is an industry leader?

  • The most comprehensive courses texts and tutorials available.
  • The mentor is the owner of the business. Mark McGaw has 25 years as a lecturer and assessor and has been a professional athlete at the highest level (Australian Rugby League representative)
  • Online learning, includes video lectures tutorials, online theory assessments and face to face on the job practical assessments.
  • Quality and unlimited technical support by Mark McGaw

Unlimited Support is given through Phone, email, face to face, Skype, and blog/forum.


Technical Support for the courses can be utilised by several methods. You may use one or all methods (listed below) to give you the best experience for success during your studies.

One way to identify a method or methods that may best suit you, is to remember back to your school days and what methods of learning you found most rewarding. If you enjoyed a particular way of study and use it again, then most likely you will stick with the Fitness and Personal Training course.

Our fully qualified fitness workplace assessors will always be on hand to help. No question is too hard and we understand you may feel embarrassed to ask the really easy questions. We are happy to help so that any roadblocks can be overcome for the full comprehension of the unit.

You may also ask questions on the blog so other students and staff can answer for all to see.

This method of technical support is quick and effective. The turn around for a response in most cases is the same day. If your workplace assessor does not return your email, then there may be up to a 48-hour response.

 

If a response has not been given by the next day, please resend the email as we pride ourselves on same day help. A call to us on 02 9692 0455 to let us know a support email has been sent will ensure another workplace assessor can take this support request if the assigned mentor is in lectures.

Just call us on (1300 542 563) to organise face to face time with a Fitness Workplace Assessor for one on one support. You must have all the questions in order and ready to go before the meeting so time effective responses are maintained.

Another option is for the student wishing to travel to our office/gymnasium at Pyrmont and spend a day or a few hours practicing exercise techniques and sitting and studying on site with other students.

This requires the student to:

 

1: call or email MMISS for an appointment so we can organise a phone meeting. If a Fitness Workplace Assessor is available the support will be immediate. If not, a convenient time for both student and Fitness Workplace Assessor will be organised.

 

2: The student must have all questions to be asked ready to go.
