Inexperienced workers
Where the student is an inexperienced worker, they may require a longer timeframe to fully absorb the knowledge and practice the skills before being assessed. In this case, our trainer/assessor will recommend for the student to complete further training at their work site, under the mentorship of a supervisor, with training activities recorded in a logbook. After completing the nominal hours logbook training, and gaining the relevant knowledge and skills, the student will then return to MHRT once ready to be assessed.
Momentum High Risk Training will provide all training materials and stationery.
- You’re welcome to bring your own lunch as fridges and crib rooms are available for use; or
