How are the courses offered by Smart Academy undertaken?
You can do most of our courses by distance education or in seminar courses. In distance education we’ll send you paper-based manuals to complete and return to us for assessment.
How long will it take?
You have 12 months to complete the Licence course. If you haven't completed it in that time you may need to re-enrol or apply for an extension.
How am I assessed?
Assessment is continuous throughout each unit to reinforce your learning using competency based strategies. On completing a unit simply mail your assessment activities to us for review and you’ll receive a Statement of Academic Achievement after being assessed as ‘competent’.
Remember, you’re required to keep a record of your training for a period of 3 years. Naturally, Smart Academy will also keep a record of this.

Are there exams?
No, all assessments are included in the unit activities. You complete these in your own time and return them to us for assessment.
What happens if I fail?
Assessment is competency based so you are deemed to be either competent (C) or not yet competent (NYC). If you are initially assessed as NYC, relax, you'll be given an opportunity to address the matters again with our support and assistance to ensure you understand the required outcomes.
