Hands on at HITsa | Practical Skills Training

The trainers teach the necessary skills at first, then set various scenarios, in which the students need to demonstrate the acquired skills they have learnt.

Students who undertake the Certificate III Individual Support Course are required to participate in Manual Handling, Meet Personal Support Needs – Skills Day and x 4 Practical Skills Days. The students are signed off by the trainer once they demonstrate their efficiency in use of equipment, participation and understanding of set tasks.

We often receive feedback from students indicating that the practical side of our training is what they enjoy most. Both our Clarence Gardens and Salisbury sites have very impressive practical skills areas that provide students the opportunity to become familiar and confident with much of the equipment that is common place out in industry.

These photos show our students in action at our Salisbury Health Skills Centre. Our training sites also boast practical training spaces for the hospitality industry, including espresso coffee machines, fully functional bar with beer taps, glass washer and other common tools and equipment. We have a separate gaming training room for those undertaking accredited Basic Gaming training.
