How should I compare two Certificate IV course offers?
Compare learning support and assessment access as well as the headline fee.
What belongs beside the fee?
Compare the actual electives, resources, assessment access and learning support. Ask how you contact an assessor and what the course includes. These details can change whether an apparently similar offer meets your needs.
How should you record gaps?
Use the same headings for each provider and mark unanswered items as unconfirmed. Obtain written fees and refund terms before paying. This guide has not researched provider prices and does not rank one course above another.
