Does the Certificate IV include a compulsory work placement?
The reviewed core units allow realistic simulation; do not assume a fixed national placement requirement.
Are fixed placement hours set here?
The reviewed core assessment requirements allow a workplace or realistic simulation with specified resources. The qualification code alone does not establish a compulsory placement or a fixed number of placement hours.
What could your course still require?
Ask about every selected elective and the provider's full assessment plan. If a real workplace is needed for an activity, confirm who arranges access. Do not turn the core simulation option into a promise that every task can be done at home.
