It&amp;nbsp;is extremely important to consider just what you're getting&amp;nbsp;with your&amp;nbsp;qualification as it could decide how&amp;nbsp;successful (or unsuccessful) you will be in your career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what will you need to look for? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Is the college National Accredited and courses approved in all states? This is important as you may end up moving and need to know your college can allow you to continue to study, or you can find employment.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Does the college meet your learning needs? For example, can you go to class or can you study from home? Can you swap between class and home study if you need to?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Does the college offer RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning)? This will allow your previous skills and&amp;nbsp;knowledge to be recognised to allow you to complete your qualification in a shorter time frame.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Can you study at a pace convenient to you?&amp;nbsp;Can you fast track your qualification if you have the time available to dedicate to study?&amp;nbsp;or do you need extra time to study because you have other commitments such as a family or work?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What is the maximum number of students in a class? Small groups mean better outcomes for you!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Does your trainer really know you and know how to support your training needs? Personalised training means you can learn more because your trainer tailors to ensure you learn as much as possible!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How do trainers support you? Can you call or email them? Do they visit you regularly at your workplace? The more support you get, the more you'll learn. Statistically you'll also complete your course more quickly.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do the trainers have appropriate qualification and experience? The more knowledge they have, the more they can teach you!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Is the College apart of ACPET or equivalent to protect your fees in the event that the college closes?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Are payment plans available to suit your needs?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Are all courses Centrelink approved to allow you to gain financial support if needed?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.accco.com.au/about-us/faq/"&gt;http://www.accco.com.au/about-us/faq/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.accco.com.au/faq"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8998307026870430874-971484489826131737?l=accco.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://accco.blogspot.com/feeds/971484489826131737/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://accco.blogspot.com/2010/08/selecting-right-training-college.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8998307026870430874/posts/default/971484489826131737'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8998307026870430874/posts/default/971484489826131737'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://accco.blogspot.com/2010/08/selecting-right-training-college.html' title='Selecting the right training college'/><author><name>ACCCO Training</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14736155312905827280</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5mMFkRlPH_I/THr0VG2jsnI/AAAAAAAAAAM/o_5OCaSoO7w/S220/ACCCOlogostar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
