- a copy of your Australian Senior Secondary Certificate of Education (year 12 Certificate), 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 do not have an Australian year 12 Certificate or have not successfully completed an AQF Certificate IV or higher qualification, 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 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 16 years. If you are under 18 your enrolment form must be signed by a parent or guardian.
English language requirements
This course requires you to read, write and understand the english language. As such, entry to the course requires English proficiency at a year 10 level or equivalency such as a NRT qualification at the Certificate II level or higher, or two years industry experience in a role that requires the use of both written and verbal communication.

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 is not the purpose of undertaking this assessment for course suitability purposes. The purpose is to assess whether the learner has sufficient LLN 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.
