Domestic Student Information
Tuition:
Tuition is conducted by fully qualified trainers and industry professionals working within their fields of expertise. The College offers 24 places for make-up students and 10 places for special effects students. This ensures a low student teacher ratio and thus a high level of direct instruction to students.
Teaching Methods:
Teaching is done through demonstration, group lectures, and practical work.

Student orientation will occur in the first week of study and will involve an introduction to the College, basic procedures for study, provision of notes and policy documents.
Recognition of Prior Learning:
RPL is available for all subject units. Candidates initially self-assess against learning outcomes and assessment criteria of the relevant modules. The Principal will advise and assist students in the preparation of the application and documentation to support self-assessment. Where the student's qualifications have been issued under the Australian Qualifications Framework, the College has an obligation to recognise those qualifications or any Statements of Attainment that have been issued by any other Registered Training Organisations. If there is sufficient evidence in the application and supporting documentation, no further assessment may be necessary.
