Orientation Day at ITeC Academy is a compulsory first step for all students and sets you up for success right from the start. Most commonly held face-to-face (unless your Course Package specifies otherwise), Orientation runs for approximately half a day and provides essential information about your upcoming studies. If you can’t attend on the scheduled date, it’s important to let ITeC Academy know prior to enrolment.

During Orientation, students are introduced to what’s expected of them as learners and given a clear overview of the course structure and key milestones. You will also cover important compliance information, policies and procedures, and a rundown of support services available to help you throughout your training. Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) responsibilities are explained, along with how to access learning resources, assessment processes, and communication channels so you feel confident, informed, and ready to begin your course.
