While the course gives you the confidence and the how-how to make some remarkable changes around sustainability, you can start at the module you are most interested in, go at your own pace slowly and thoroughly, plus if you need support we’ve got your back.

Remember, it is not about keeping up with the Joneses, it’s about applying and enjoying the learning at your own pace.  If things do start to feel a bit tricky for you, please reach out and get in touch, I am here to help you every step of the way.

The way the course is delivered means your education can be provided at a fraction of the cost, saving you thousands of dollars.  Each module would normally start at $249, if you were to study them individually, but we have reduced the cost down to $35.50 per module, and passing those savings on to you.

That is the beauty of this course, you only need a few hours each week to complete it over our suggested 18-month timeframe.  Remember not to stress because you have lifetime access so you can definitely go at your own pace.

We don’t do things by halves! Each module has a series of lessons and each lesson has a presentation video with audio, plus practical videos wherever possible. Students can download a workbook for each module and at the end of the module you’ll be required to complete the assessment task online. While we like to have a good time, we also push you to get great results; you will need to get at least an 85% pass to receive a competent mark”.

The video assessment is optional. However, if you would like the certificate at the end of the course, you are required to submit a video assessment incorporating all of the modules you have learnt. This means that you have full freedom to choose what you would like to learn.

Yo, superstar! After passing all required assessment tasks (you’ve so got this) and successful completion of The Sustainable Living Certificate Course you will receive a bright and shiny Certificate of Achievement plus a full bragging-rights Record of Achievement.

We want you to have the best learning experience. We therefore recommend you commit to at least 12 months, averaging 3-4 hours each week – for the best possible outcomes in your sustainable backyard journey. However, the beauty of this course is you can go at your own pace, so you don’t have to feel pressured.

Under ASQA (The Australian Skills Quality Authority) the Sustainable Living industry is not currently regulated. As such, there is no requirement to have the course accredited at this stage. However, this doesn’t mean accreditation won’t happen in the future. With this in mind, the course has been created to facilitate modules that can be easily adapted to Cert IV accreditation should it be required and all students of the course can apply or RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) and obtain their Cert IV in Sustainable Living Practices. Once you have completed the course you might successfully obtain work in the industry such as through local councils, pre-schools, schools and nurseries or even start your own consultancy business.
