The Away from Base (AFB) Mixed-Mode program supports Indigenous students who are studying an approved mixed-mode course by distance education to access compulsory course elements in another location away from their permanent home for short periods of time.
A ‘mixed-mode’ AFB course is a nationally accredited course that is delivered through a combination of distance education and face-toface residential teaching. AFB contributes towards the costs of travel, meals and accommodation.
If you have to attend a workshop away from your home, are in receipt of ABSTUDY and are enrolled in an ABSTUDY approved course, your travel, accommodation and meals will be organised by Batchelor Institute.
Batchelor Institute recognises the importance of skills and knowledge that you may already have. You may have gained these through other work or study you have done or through life experience.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process that tries to match these skills and knowledge to the outcomes of your course to assess whether you have achieved the required learning outcomes. If you think you are eligible for RPL, contact us for more information.
Batchelor Institute also recognises qualifications and statements of attainments gained from any other Australian Registered Training Organisation, where nationally accredited training has been undertaken. This form of recognition may include Credit Transfers.
