As a registered training provider and not an employer, TalentMed is unable to guarantee any work or job positions upon course completion. However, TalentMed’s diploma-level qualifications are listed on the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and classified as nationally-recognised training. Therefore this qualification is recognised by employers and any other registered training organisation across Australia.
In addition, our Guided Learner package includes personalised Job Search Assistance upon course completion.
Therefore, there is currently an increase for Practice Managers to meet these increasing demands and sustain the quality requirements of healthcare professionals. This is done through the provision of nationally recognised training, that ensures Practice Managers are not only able to meet but exceed the required standards demanded by the industry.
TalentMed’s Diploma of Practice Management is nationally recognised and listed under the Australian Qualifications Framework.
TalentMed continuously seeks industry feedback to ensure its training and assessment materials are relevant to workplace needs. As such, TalentMed undertakes extensive industry engagement to ensure its courses are aligned to employer and industry stakeholder expectations.
Minimum academic entry requirements
To be assessed as academically suited for this course, you must provide either:
- a copy of your Australian Senior Secondary Certificate of Education (year 12 Certificate), or
- a copy of your International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB), or
- evidence of successful completion of an Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) Certificate IV or higher qualification (where the language of instruction is English).
If you are unable to provide one of the above documents, we will send you login details to complete a quick Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) pre-assessment to confirm your suitability for the course. Students must demonstrate Exit Level 3 (or higher) competency in both reading and numeracy.
Minimum online learning competency
This clinical coding course is delivered online. As such, entry to the course requires you to be proficient with operating a personal computer. You will be specifically asked about your online learning competency as part of your pre-training review to evaluate your suitability for the course.
Minimum age
Minimum age of 18 years.
English language requirements
This course requires applicants to read, write and understand the English language. As such, entry to the course requires English proficiency at a year 12 level or equivalency such as an NRT qualification at the Certificate IV level or higher, or two years industry experience in a role that requires the use of both written and verbal communication. Alternatively, applicants can undertake an appropriate Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) assessment tool to determine course suitability prior to enrolment.
Alignment with personal and/or professional needs
Applicants must also be able to demonstrate that their course of interest aligns to their personal or professional needs.
Government funding
Applicants seeking enrolment under any Government funding contract will be assessed against the requirements set out in the relevant funding contract and guidelines to ensure they are eligible for the enrolment under the Government funding.
Students with disabilities
Clinical coding often provides a unique and fulfilling career for individuals with disabilities. Please contact us on 03 9937 1599 to find out more about ways that we can assist you.
As per normal VET assessment procedures, especially with regard to pre-training assessments, the assessment should only be initially administered once. In order for the learner and TalentMed to implement any targeted LLN support and to have sufficient time for the learner to improve their LLN skills to the required level, a minimum period of no less than three months is required between undertaking further assessments using the approved tool. It may take longer than this, but at least three months should provide enough time for progress to be made and improvement to be able to be demonstrated.
TalentMed believes that this is not about ‘passing the test’, as can be the practice in some situations, and re-sitting the test a number of times until the learner eventually passes. This is not the purpose of undertaking this assessment for course suitability purposes. The purpose of the LLN test is to assess whether the learner has sufficient skills to potentially succeed in undertaking a Diploma level qualification or higher. Allowing learners to keep re-sitting until they pass would not be a fair or valid process. It is TalentMed’s goal to provide targeted LLN support and to allow the learner to have sufficient time to improve their LLN skills to the required level.
At the end of the day, this requirement is aimed at protecting your learning needs and ensuring the course is suitable for your success.
You can access TalentMed’s policies and procedures online at anytime by clicking here or via the Policies hyperlink in the footer of our website.

This is an excellent course if you want to get into the management side of health. It has really helped me find out my passion for writing policies and procedures. Completing this course has opened up more career opportunities for me so I would like to thank my Trainer Ann-Marie she was absolutely the best trainer anyone can ask for. I would also like to thank the student support team for making this whole course smooth and easy. There are only a few organisations that offer this course and doing it through TalentMed was so worth it. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t hesitate to choose TalentMed again.
