Flexible, fully online learning
Study at your own pace from anywhere in Australia, start any time, and take up to two years to complete any program.
OUR METHODOLOGY
A Clear Path From Enrolment to Qualification
Every student takes a slightly different route into the profession. These are the four stages we guide you through, so you always know what comes next.
Understand Your Goals
We start by helping you identify the right pathway for your situation, whether you are entering the field for the first time, upgrading existing qualifications, or adding a specialisation. Every student's starting point is different, and we tailor our guidance accordingly.
Enrol and Begin Learning
Our courses are fully online and self-paced, so you can begin immediately and study around your existing commitments. Clear course materials, structured units, and after-hours trainer support mean you are never studying alone.
Apply Your Knowledge
As you progress, you work through real-world scenarios that build the practical skills required to work with families and individuals in dispute. For the Graduate Diploma, a 50-hour work placement puts theory into practice in a real professional setting.
Graduate and Enter the Profession
Once you complete the training, you can apply for separate accreditation as a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner through the Attorney-General's Department. Accredited FDRPs can then issue Section 60I certificates under the Family Law Act.
