We are open, all face-to-face classes are continuing and we are taking new enrolments for courses at both our head office in Kiama and Western Sydney. As a Registered Training Organisation, NTM is an essential service during the pandemic and will operate in accordance with Government directions. We are taking enrolments for our face-to-face courses for the next intake for the hugely popular TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment and Work Health and Safety courses. 

Over the last few months, we have been introducing a range of proactive measures to limit the impact of COVID-19 and support you in continuing your study. At the same time, we are continually evaluating our approaches to ensure your safety and wellbeing.

Social distancing at National Training Masters

21 March 2020 – urgent all students

Teachers have been provided with specific guidance on ways to implement appropriate social distancing within the teaching environment, which are slightly different from the general measures in place in the broader community.

Where your study program requires face-to-face interaction or practical environments  we are taking action by:

• Reducing the size of the classes by ensuring that you have sufficient social distancing space
• Encouraging regular hand hygiene of participants, including providing hand sanitiser for you and teachers
• Regularly disinfecting frequently used surfaces
• Avoid congestion in common areas by staggering break times.

In the meantime, NTM is in the process of rolling out a greater range of online resources so that you can continue to study your course via face to face classes and virtual classrooms. Your teacher will contact you directly to advise what this means for you and how your course will continue. Please keep up to date with the national Health advice regarding COVID-19.
