Generally, a traineeship will take 12 months to complete and an apprenticeship will take anywhere from 3 – 4 years. Depending on whether you choose to study part-time or full-time. Once successfully completed you will gain a nationally recognised qualification. 

In addition, HITsa offer a selection of courses through traineeship and apprenticeship arrangements.

A short course will generally take anywhere from a day to 3 months to complete. In this time, you can gain industry relevant skills and be a step closer to jumpstarting your career.

HITsa offer a range of short courses in health, hospitality, business, and retail. View more info on individual course pages.

Benefits of Studying Online

Online learning has become a favourable method of study in recent years. Learning online can offer great flexibility and be much more suitable for those with other commitments such as work. 

Previously, you needed to decide where and what to study, but today you also need to decide how you want to study. Do you want to study in-classroom or online? 

Some people learn better in a classroom and some people prefer learning online. There are many factors that could affect your study preference. 

Furthermore, here are some of the benefits of taking an online course.

Flexibility

For many students, the main benefit of studying online is the flexibility. Some online courses allow you to start at any time, and some give you the option to complete the course in your preferred time frame. 

Learning online also gives you the flexibility to juggle work and study. If you work full-time, an online course may allow you to complete all your study outside of work hours. Therefore, enabling you to live comfortably while still earning a full-time wage.

Better Learning Environment

Some people may not enjoy attending campuses and large classes in person. Online learning allows you to complete study wherever you please. This could be at the library, coffee shop or in the comfort of your own home. 

Remote Learning

Online learning is often available wherever and to whomever. Most small country towns have limited training facilities within the area, if not none. Therefore, if you live remotely an online course would be a much more convenient and affordable study option. 

Cost

Depending on your industry, many online courses are much more affordable than in-classroom learning. 

Why Online Learning May Suit You

If you are an independent learner and have a lot of commitments, an online course could definitively be for you. Choosing to study online offers you fantastic flexibility, giving you the chance to juggle other commitments such as work, family, or friends. 

In addition, we currently offer RSA training as an online study option. Feel free to send us a suggestion via the form here and let us know what other courses you would like available online.
