• CHC53215 - Diploma of Alcohol and Other Drugs

New pricing structure for qualification resources.
We wish to advise you of the following.
You now have two options for each of the qualification resources:
1. Original packaging and
2. CE packaging
With the CE option we will provide you with all the core and the electives as per training.gov.au minimum requirements (for example, CHC30113 – Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care has 15 Core and 3 Electives).  The electives can be selected from the ones available from Real Learning Solutions for that course. The pricing for this option has a CE after the code. (for example, CHC30113CE). The other option will still be available should you prefer. (This option will give you all the core and more than the required minimum number of electives).
Individual units are still unchanged. The prices for individual units has not changed for over 5 years.
For the CE option, please complete the enquiry form on that webpage stating the elective units you wish to receive in your qualification package. We will send you a BPoint link to purchase the materials. Materials can then be accessed via the DropBox and Express Post.
This Category includes the existing courses plus the new materials as they are announced and contain requests to be placed on a list for notification regarding the new resources.

Why invest with us?
We have been providing quality training materials for the VET Sector for over fifteen years. All of our materials come to you in an electronic format by CD ROM/USB and it includes the candidates learning guide, assessment tool, trainers marking guide, Competency Mapping Tool, PowerPoint's, and any relevant readings.
Our format enables you to contextualise the material for your Organisations logo (the licence you receive enables this). The resources we know are flexible enough for any group of Students.
Also as the versions change as they invariably do, you will receive the updates at no extra cost to your Organisation.
The investment for these resources is based on the following factors;
1. The resources are able to be contextualised and replicated as you see fit. In other words the licence allows you to reprint and badge and remove and add materials to your specifications – if you feel it is necessary.
2. The annual licencing fee for online and printing is $100 per course. This will be automatically invoiced on the anniversary of the purchase. This covers the course for the term of the certificate – that is until the next package is released – at this rate about 6 – 7 years.
3. Any additions that we do will be sent to you automatically as they are developed.
4. You will receive all the compulsory units as well all the electives required for the course.
5. These resources offer the breadth, depth and complexity of knowledge and competencies covering selecting, adapting and transferring skills and knowledge to new environments. Our resources provide you with the technical advice and early leadership skills for problem resolution. Such skills can be applied across a broad range of roles, and in a variety of contexts.
