FAQs
Here are answers to your FAQs
National College Australia (NCA)
Why choose National College Australia (NCA)?
There are many reasons for choosing NCA.
- We are a niche provider for the aged care and community services sectors. It is all we do so this is where our expertise lies.
- You only get one dedicated Trainer & Assessor for the entire course so you're able to build a relationship with your key contact. Unlike other training providers, we don't pass on your work to a host of assessors who don't really know or understand you. Where the assigned Trainer & Assessor becomes unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances, another Trainer & Assessor will be assigned to you.
- We monitor your performance to make sure you're on track. The more you stick to your study plan, the greater your chances at success.
- Our Diploma courses have a recognised pathway for higher education. e.g Charles Sturt University. Learn More
- Flexible online learning across all our Certificate and Diploma level courses. Learn More
- Receive 15% off on full course fees when paying upfront.
- Pay for courses with Zip.
- Government funding available for NSW residents. Learn More
- Take advantage of our Cooling Off Period so you have the time to be 100% confident of your enrolment.

Overseas Students & Visa Eligibility
Can I enrol with NCA if I live overseas?
No. Unfortunately, you need to be living in Australia to complete one of our qualifications, and you will need to do a minimum number of hours as work placement in an Australian workplace.
Can I enrol with NCA if I hold a Student Visa 500?
No. Unfortunately we cannot accept that Visa through our college as we are not CRICOS (Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students) registered.
Learn More: CRICOS
Can I enrol with NCA if I hold other Visa types?
We will check VEVO (Visa Entitlement Verification Online) system for eligibility as well as assess criteria of visa conditions before enrolling you.
We will only enrol you when an eligible visa is current, and it is your responsibility to provide relevant visa documents which show the visa remains current throughout your studies with NCA if requested.
Can I enrol with NCA if I hold a bridging Visa?
If you are on a bridging visa, you can still enrol but you must pay the full course fee upfront. We will accept no responsibility if you cannot finish a course if the Department of Home Affairs requires you to leave Australia.
Application and Enrolment
What is a USI and why do I need one?
What is a USI?
A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a set of 10 numbers and letters created by the Commonwealth Government and is compulsory for students studying nationally recognised courses.
A USI links to an online student account that securely holds your current and past VET(Vocational Education and Training) training records, including results.
The USI and the USI Registry are managed by the Commonwealth Government.
Is the USI only for nationally recognised training (VET) courses?
Yes, regardless of who is delivering the training, your USI is only for nationally recognised training or VET. For more details on USI.
Why do I need a USI?
A USI is required for students undertaking nationally recognised training (qualifications, accredited courses, skill sets and units of competency).
If you don't have a USI you will not receive your qualification or statement of attainment.
Are the courses all Nationally Recognised Training?
Yes. National College Australia (NCA) is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) governed by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA).
We're exactly the same as TAFE, which means the certificate you receive is recognised by industry and other RTOs anywhere in Australia. We are both governed to ensure we issue nationally accredited qualifications that meet Australian standards.
When can I enrol?
You can enrol into a course and start when you're ready to. As our courses are online, we don't have Term or Semester start dates.
When do enrolment periods close?
There are no enrolment closing periods as you can easily enrol and start a course with us at anytime of the year. This is the flexibility of studying courses that are offered online.
What is Credit Transfer?
Credit Transfer (CT) is the process of awarding credit for a Unit of Competency that has been successfully completed at another Registered Training Organisation and therefore does not need to be completed again as part of the NCA course. Credit transfer can only be applied to a Unit of Competency with the same code and title or an equivalent Unit of Competency as shown on the National Register (training.gov.au). CT applications need to be supported by a USI transcript or a verified Transacript of Academic Record.
To discuss your Credit Transfer options, Contact Course Advisors.
What is RPL?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that acknowledges a learner's existing skills, knowledge, and experience to determine if they meet the requirements for a Unit of Competency. A range of evidence is required to support the RPL assessment process and if that evidence clearly demonstrates competency for the unit, RPL is granted and no further learning and assessment is required.
To discuss your RPL options, Contact Course Advisors.
How do I apply for a course?
Applying to enrol into a course with NCA is easy!
Simply complete the Enrolment Form providing your details, and our Course Advisors will be in touch with the next steps.
How will I know if my application has been processed?
You will receive a summary of your application for enrolment emailed to you as confirmation.
What can I expect to receive once I'm enrolled in a course?
Once enrolled in your course, you will receive a Welcome Email sent by Student Services with attached information to get you started with your course.
This information will vary with the qualification and course type however you will need to look out for this email as it will direct you to log into NCA Point (Online Student Learning Portal).
Do you offer Induction for enrolled students?
Once enrolled you will receive the Induction program in your Welcome Email with access to an online induction video to show you how to navigate the course and set expectations. You will need to watch the Induction video to familiarise yourself with NCA Point (Online Student Learning Portal) as this will help in getting you started with your course.
Once you log into NCA Point, you will commence the Induction program which you have to complete before starting your course.
If you get lost at any time, you are able to access NCA Point's Admin Centre to locate your study information and instructions.
Courses
Do I have to attend classes?
No, you do not attend classes as all of our courses are online which means you can study using your preferred devices like a tablet or a desktop computer. As long as you have internet connection you can easily log into your LMS (Learning Management System) and access all your course materials, and study whenever and wherever you are to suit your busy lifestyle.
How are the courses delivered?
All of our courses are delivered online which means you don't need to attend classes. However, you will still need to complete practical tasks in a suitable workplace. Online learning gives you the freedom to work at your own pace and around your other commitments.

When can I expect to finish a course?
As a guide, you can expect Certificate III and IV level courses to take a maximum of 12 months with Diploma level courses 18 months. Everyone studies at a different pace and the time it takes you to finish the course will depend on how much you already know and how much experience you have. As you will be completing this course in an online environment, you will have the flexibility to complete it earlier.
Can I finish sooner ?
Yes. As long as assessment requirements are met and achieved then you are able to complete sooner than the course duration guidelines.
We have had students complete a Certificate level course in 6 months. It depends on when you get started and how quickly you accelerate your learning.
Can I extend my course?
Your course has a set duration starting from the date of enrolment. You are required to complete the course within this time period.
If you're having trouble in meeting assessment deadlines and you'd like more time, you can apply for an extension.
If the extension is granted, you will be charged a fee. This policy may vary for some government funded courses.
Are there any exams or tests ?
Vocational education is based on competency-based learning which means you have to prove you have the ability to perform the tasks required for the job.
Assessment is collected as evidence through a number of ways including written questions, projects, third party reports, and performance-based evidence known as Work Placement.
How much work is involved ?
A nationally recognised qualification requires commitment, dedication and an investment of your time. Our courses are are designed to meet the stringent requirements dictated to us as a RTO (Registered Training Organisation).
You will be required to dedicate time and effort to your studies.
As a guide, you can expect to spend anywhere between 6 - 15 hours each week on your course. How much time you dedicate to your studies varies from student to student based on the type of qualification, level of industry and work experience.
Do I get assigned different assessors ?
At NCA, you will be assigned one main trainer & assessor who will support you throughout your learning journey. Unlike other training providers, we do not pass your work to a host of different assessors. However, some courses are specialised and you may be assigned a different trainer & assessor for the specialisations. Where the main trainer & assessor becomes unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances, another trainer & assessor will be assigned to you.

Work Placement
What is Work Placement and why is it required?
When you enrol in a nationally recognised qualification, you are obliged to provide evidence that you can perform the skills required to do the job. This evidence has to come from a workplace where you have spent time practising the skills and where you have fulfilled the assessment requirements.
Do I need to do work placement?
Only if you're NOT working in the job role designed for the qualification. This includes people who might be working in the industry but are not working in the right role.
For example, if you studying the Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing) - CHC33015, and you work in a residential facility as a kitchen hand, you will be required to complete work placement.
Can I do placement in one block?
Almost all NCA courses require at least 2 blocks of work placement spread evenly throughout the course so you can practice what you learn over a reasonable period of time. If this isn't possible though, we'll need to work with the employer to schedule times that work around the workplace's operational requirements.
How can I find a host employer to do work placement?
It’s best to start looking for a host employer in your local area shortly after you start the course so you have enough time to secure a placement and be ready to start when the time comes. We’ll give you enough time and opportunity leading up to placement. We will also give you advice and guidance on when and how to approach employers and what to do during placement.
What if I cannot find a host employer?
Our Work Placement Coordinator are here to help you out.
Can I do placement at my current workplace?
Absolutely. If you are working in the industry but you are required to complete the minimum number of placement hours because you are not working in the right job role. You can certainly do work placement with your current employer as long as you have access to the assessment equipment and resources required.
What do I need to provide after completing work placement?
The standard work placement evidence requirements include a timesheet, supervisor reports, observation reports, and any other forms of evidence that demonstrate your skills level.
Am I covered by NCA whilst I complete work placement?
You certainly are. During work placement, all of our students are covered by NCA’s public liability insurance so you are protected.
Do I need a clearance check for work placement?
Most community services providers will request a police clearance check before you’re able to start work placement with them. You’ll be able to apply for the check using NCA’s student placement portal. There is a charge of around $30 – $40
Where do I upload my police check?
When you complete the Self-Submission, upload the Police Check under Placement details.
Ensure to add the expiry date and reference number.
Where do I complete the Student Self-Submission?
- Log into Inplace and agree to the Terms and Conditions.
- Return to the dashboard and locate on the left side the number '1' with a circle around it.
- Next to this circle, it says 'Self Submission'.
What happens when I finish the Self-Submission?
Your Workplace Coordinator will be notified your Self Submission has been completed, and the submitted data will be reviewed prior to the Work Placement Agreement being emailed to your employer.
When do I receive the Work Placement Agreement?
Once your employer signs and returns the Work Placement Agreement, it will be uploaded to Inplace. Students can download the Form and sign it.
Where can I locate the Work Placement Agreement in Inplace?
You can download the Form from the Placement field.
What happens when I complete my work placement?
- Send your log book to workplacement@nca.edu.au
- Upload the Third Party Reports to your Online Student Learning Portal (NCA Point)
- Finalise Work Place project on NCA Point
Happy Student Stories
I wanted to give some feedback regarding Lisa Porto (Academic Assessor - NCA) my assessor. She was just fabulous. She always replied to any questions I had very promptly and always marked my work in such a quick turnaround. She gave me great feedback during the course and I think she deserves this recognition. She was even kind enough yesterday to give me a call to congratulate me on completing the course.
I had set myself the goal of finishing the certificate before Christmas and she helped me achieve this.
Also a big THANK YOU to you Cate (Student Services - NCA) as you also responded to any issues I had during the course quickly and resolved the problems promptly.
12 Year Certificate I have one big concern to be able to work and finish my assignment on time. I haven't started the course yet by reading though the information I am confident that I will be able to overcome tmy fear complete the course successfully. The easy interaction via NCA point the online learning student portal I will definitely recommend my friends to NCA enrolment was not hard at all. The staff are supportive you students can call and get assistance easily I am looking forward to starting my new course with NCA
Completed my HLT33015 - Certificate III in Allied Health Assistance (Physiotherapy) today!
THANK YOU to Lisa (Academic Assessor - NCA). You were amazing. Your kind and encouraging emails early mornings will be missed!
I would recommend to anyone who wants to study to do so with NCA (National College Australia). Very helpful all the way.
Great online course - Certificate IV in Disability, and Jeremy is a great assessor.
Easy enrolment and great service all around.
5 Stars for me.
Without his (Sam - Assessor) ongoing support I don't think I would've completed my course. I can't thank him enough for his patience and understanding.
Initially when I enrolled to complete a certificate online through National College Australia I was overwhelmed at the idea of being a single mother, working full time and online study.
Sam guided me through each unit and was always encouraging and happy to answer all my questions.
I have really enjoyed and been challenged by this course taken in my mature age.
Sam was a wonderful trainer and gave great encouragement and feedback on my assessments.
I've been so happy and thankful for National College Australia in helping me reach my dreams.
Two months after receiving my certificate I got a job!
My journey in studying the Certificate III Allied Health has taught me a lot. At first, I thought I couldn't make it but because I had a goal and a dream to land a job I really wanted, I just trusted National College Australia and most importantly I motivated myself to finish the course to start a new career, and to get a job, which I did!
Hi Lisa (Academic Assessor - NCA), you are amazing.
I am submitting a module and receiving results the same day.
Again, I want to say THANK YOU for your feedback and support. I do so appreciate your help.
CHC43415 - Certificate IV in Leisure and Health
Done my Certificate IV in Leisure and Health. My Assessor was really great, always promote encouragement and support towards my study from the start to finished. Got a part-time job now in Leisure and Lifestyle Department.
Thank you very much, NCA 👏 👏 👏
CHC42015 - Certificate IV in Community Services
Hi everyone, and especially those doing CHC42015 - Certificate IV in Community Services. I've seen a few people asking about job opportunities and thought I'd share my success. I have successfully gotten a job as a residential youth worker and will be starting in a couple of weeks., it is casual for 6 months and then the option to go full time after that if they're happy with my work.
I have applied for a few different jobs in that field and in disability support . Been offered an interview for each job I applied for and ended up having a choice between 2 jobs .
These types of jobs are 24/7 rosters and you do have to be flexible and available, which I am. The money isn't too bad either, the award rate is $37.21 basic casual rate before penalties (which you will get for certain shifts).
The knowledge I've gained from doing the course has given me enough to be able to answer interview questions confidently. I will also be able to get my 120 hours signed off by a supervisor instead of having to do a work placement.
CHC43315 - Certificate IV in Mental Health
I was a bit concerned that the course would be too difficult for me as it has been quite some time since I was a student. I was also worried that the time commitment required would be too great and that I would not get enough support from Student Services and from my Trainer Assessor.
I shouldn't have worried. The course was challenging rather than difficult, but completely enjoyable. Student Services are very supportive if you need them (especially Cate), and my Trainer Assessor, Ana, was amazing. She went above and beyond at all times!
I loved the way I could fit my study around everything else, and I really appreciated that Ana, my Trainer Assessor, always responded to my queries very quickly.
Just do it! Everything falls into place and the support received is fantastic.
WOW, Yahoo and Yay! I'm feeling great.
A great big huge thank you to you for your time and support throughout the duration of this course.
I believe a credit should go out to you for your amazing response and turn around time with assessing my units. This quick response time really reduced my nerves and would help any anxiety that people may have developed.
Getting good feedback was both refreshing and reassuring and getting the right answer of 'competent' from you was always welcoming.
Thank You again!

Top marks to you and your organisation.
This whole process has been enjoyable, challenging and educational.
I have particularly relished telephone conversations wherein I was sharing experiences with someone who had a credible knowledge base.
